Engraving of a knight on a rearing horse raising a sword toward a dragon on the ground, with a cloaked figure and a distant town at right.

Saint George Slaying the Dragon, after Marcantonio Raimondi

A mounted knight in armour raises a sword above a rearing horse, striking at a winged dragon writhing on the ground at lower right. A cloaked figure stands at the right beside a tree, while a walled town and hills lie in the distant landscape. The fine engraved lines suggest a black-and-white print reproduced by collotype.
