Printed Book of Hours (Use of Rome): fol. 103v, St. George Slaying the Dragon
The image depicts a medieval-style illustration of a man on horseback slaying a dragon. The man has light skin and reddish-blonde hair, wearing a yellow tunic and brown boots, riding a white horse. He holds a sword in his right hand, raised above his head, and grasps the reins with his left. The white horse stands on all fours, with its head facing left, and its front legs positioned on top of a brown dragon. The dragon has an open mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and its body is angled to the right. In the background, a green hill slopes downward to the right, with a body of water and a distant castle. A woman in a brown dress sits on the grassy hill, looking at the scene. The illustration is framed by a brown border with decorative elements, featuring a red pillar on the left. Above the illustration, red text on a beige background reads "Suffragia" and "De sancto georgio. Antiphona." Below the illustration, black text appears on a beige background. The overall background of the image is beige.
