Engraving of a knight on a rearing horse raising a sword toward a dragon on the ground, with a cloaked figure and a distant town at right.

Saint George on horseback wearing armour is about to kill the dragon with his sword. Collotype after M. A. Raimondi.

A mounted knight in armour raises a sword above a rearing horse, striking at a winged dragon writhing on the ground at lower right. A cloaked figure stands at the right beside a tree, while a walled town and hills lie in the distant landscape. The fine engraved lines suggest a black-and-white print reproduced by collotype.

Español: San Jorge matando al dragón, según Marcantonio Raimondi

Un caballero con armadura, montado en un caballo encabritado, levanta una espada contra un dragón alado que se retuerce en el suelo, abajo a la derecha. A la derecha, una figura envuelta en una capa está junto a un árbol, y al fondo se ven una ciudad amurallada y colinas. Las líneas finas del grabado indican una estampa en blanco y negro reproducida por colotipia.

À direita, uma figura envolta em capa está ao lado de uma árvore, e ao fundo aparecem uma cidade murada e colinas. As linhas finas da gravura indicam uma estampa em preto e branco reproduzida por colotipia.
