About this work

In a rolling landscape with trees, in the center, St. George has defeated the dragon. He hands over the cord to which the dead dragon is tied to the maiden. Behind her, three terrified maids. In the foreground, three other women with two small children. A dead woman lies on the ground to the left near the horse of St. George. In the sky, two putti with laurel wreaths.
