St. George Preparing for His Martyrdom

Pierre Brébiette

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a chaotic scene with many figures. A man on horseback wearing a helmet and holding a spear or pole is on the right. The horse faces left. A man on foot wearing a helmet and holding a spear or pole is on the left. The horse faces right. A crowd of people surrounds the horses; some on the ground, some on their feet; some appear to be dead, and some are alive. Some are holding weapons. At the top, people are sitting on clouds; some are surrounded by haloes. A bird flies in the center. There are buildings in the background.
