The artwork, executed with a stylus underdrawing, pen, and brush on paper, measures 13.9x19 cm and is currently housed in the esteemed British Museum in London. In this remarkable piece, da Vinci skillfully captures the intensity of an epic confrontation between a courageous rider and a fearsome dragon. The scene unfolds with dynamic energy as the horseback warrior engages in combat against the mythical creature. With sword drawn high above his head, he fearlessly confronts the menacing beast.
