St. George and the Dragon

Francesco Salviati

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts St. George on a rearing horse, dressed in armor and a long-sleeved top with a belt around his waist. He holds a long spear in his right hand. The horse has a thick mane and a bridle. The horse's front left leg is raised, and its hind legs are lowered. To the left of St. George, a woman kneels in an orange dress with her hands raised. A dragon-like creature with a long snout and spiky back lies on the ground to the right, appearing to be hit by the spear. The background includes a landscape with buildings and a hill. The drawing is outlined with a thin double-lined border. The color palette includes shades of orange, yellow, brown, and gray.
