St. George and the Dragon (1) by Claude-Ferdinand Gaillard. The drawing is on a piece of aged paper with a darker rectangular area around it. The image within the rectangle depicts a man on horseback with a lance piercing a dragon. The man is wearing a hat and a tunic; he is positioned on the right side of the image. The dragon is on the left; it has a serpentine body with scales and a large head. The background includes trees and grass. The man and horse are in motion; the dragon is lying on the ground with the lance through its body. Three broken pieces of the lance lie on the ground.
