Engraving of a knight on a rearing horse lancing a dragon, with a woman and a castle on a hill in the background.

Saint George. Engraving after Master F.V.B.

A mounted knight in armor thrusts a long lance into a writhing dragon beneath a rearing horse, while a woman in a long dress and a figure with a sword stand at left on a hillside. A castle tower rises on the distant cliff, and a coiled serpent-like tail curls among rocks at lower right. The fine hatched linework of this black-and-white engraving gives the scene its detail.

Español: San Jorge matando al dragón, grabado según Maestro F.V.B.

Un caballero con armadura y lanza atraviesa a un dragón retorcido bajo un caballo encabritado, mientras una mujer con vestido largo y otra figura con espada aparecen a la izquierda en una ladera. Una torre de castillo se alza en el acantilado lejano, y una cola enroscada entre las rocas aparece a la derecha. El rayado fino de este grabado en blanco y negro da detalle a la escena.

Português: São Jorge matando o dragão, gravura após Mestre F.V.B.

Um cavaleiro de armadura espeta com uma lança um dragão contorcido sob um cavalo empinado, enquanto uma mulher de vestido longo e outra figura com espada aparecem à esquerda, numa encosta. Uma torre de castelo ergue-se no penhasco distante, e uma cauda enroscada entre as pedras surge à direita. Os traços finos e hachurados desta gravura em preto e branco dão detalhe à cena.
