Description
On horseback, killing a dragon with a lance, rearing up before him. On the ground a skeleton, gnawed by dogs. The knight with a short low-girdled coat of mail and flying straps at the shoulder. In background in scenery of rocky mountains, the king's daughter is praying on her knees; on mountains an armed castle. Figures nearly full-round with plenty undercuts.
