This is a painting featuring a knight battling a dragon. The artwork depicts a knight on horseback, wielding a lance towards a dragon below. The dragon's body is detailed with scales and wings, giving a sense of movement and tension. Cherubic figures float among clouds above, and a draped figure reaches skyward to the left.
