Engraving of Saint George on a rearing white horse, raising a lance against a winged dragon on the ground, with trees and a rocky hill behind.

Saint George on Horseback Slaying the Dragon, after Raphael

An engraving shows a armoured rider on a rearing white horse, lance raised, striking at a winged dragon crouched on the lower left. Broken spear shafts lie on the grassy ground, and a small figure appears on a distant rocky outcrop. The caption below reads Saint George and names Nicolas de Larmessin as the engraver after a painting by Raphael.
