The present woodcut by an anonymous artist depicts Saint George on Horseback riding towards the rescued maiden, with the slain dragon at the lower right of the scene. The composition of the horse and rider is closely related to Hans Burgkmair's woodcut of Emperor Maximilian I on Horseback from 1518.
To our knowledge no other impression of this print has been offered at auction within the last thirty years and we are not aware of any impressions in public collections.
