Saint George Standing

Master H.L.

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a mythical warrior standing in elaborate armor in a fantastical landscape. The warrior wears detailed armor with engravings and a plumed helmet. A bird motif is prominent on the chest plate. In the background are lush foliage and a decorative architectural wall. Below the warrior are serpents and mythical creatures. The image is rendered in a detailed, linear style typical of engravings from the Renaissance period, with cross-hatching and attention to texture and form.
