Depicts St. George on horseback wielding a short sword, with the horse rearing to the right over a fallen dragon pierced by a broken lance; the date and artist's initials, B.P., appear in the exergue.

Saint George (c. 275–281 AD to 23 April 303) was a Roman soldier of Greek origin in Emperor Diocletian’s Guard, martyred for refusing to renounce his Christian faith.

According to legend, in Silene, Libya, a dragon poisoned the land from a nearby lake. To appease it, the townspeople sacrificed sheep and, later, children chosen by lottery. When the king’s daughter was selected, she was sent to the lake despite his pleas.

Saint George happened upon her and vowed to stay. When the dragon appeared, he wounded it with his lance, used her girdle to leash it, and led it to the town. George promised to slay the dragon if the people converted to Christianity. After 15,000, including the king, were baptized, he killed the dragon. A church was built on the site, and a spring with healing waters emerged from its altar.
