Saint George and the Dragon

A knight in dark armor and a red-plumed helmet thrusts a lance into a winged dragon while a white horse rears beside him. A kneeling woman in a pink gown watches from a rocky hillside, with a walled town and bones scattered across the golden ground.

Español: San Jorge y el dragón

Un caballero con armadura oscura y yelmo con penacho rojo clava una lanza en un dragón alado mientras un caballo blanco se encabrita a su lado. Una mujer arrodillada, con vestido rosa, observa desde una ladera rocosa, con una ciudad amurallada y huesos esparcidos sobre el suelo dorado.
