About this work

This painting shows a rider on a white horse striking a dragon with a spear. The rider wears armor and a halo, holding a cross high in one hand. Behind them, a small building and two figures watch. The sky is bright blue with red clouds, and the ground is green and yellow with wavy lines. The dragon’s body twists under the horse’s hooves, while the rider’s face looks calm. The colors are bold—reds, blues, and golds—and the lines are thick and simple. Look up saint next to see who this figure might represent.
