The fight: St George kills the dragon

A knight in dark plate armour, with a red cloak flying behind him, drives a sword into a coiled dragon on green grass. A kneeling woman in a white gown and blue mantle clasps her hands nearby, beside a broken lance and a skull in the foreground. Painted in oil with a soft, dreamlike landscape of hills and trees.
