St. George and the Dragon, pen and brown wash drawing

A mounted rider with a lance and a cloak strikes downward toward a small creature at the lower left, set against a dark, brushy landscape. The drawing uses pen and brown ink with brush wash, and a line of handwritten Italian script runs along the bottom edge of the sheet.
