E. Boyd’s “St. George (Painted on Deerskin)” from 1935-1942 depicts the Christian saint slaying a dragon. Boyd painted the watercolor scene in a medieval style with stylized figures and a decorative background, employing a limited palette. The composition is framed with swirling patterns reminiscent of folk art and medieval manuscripts. The artwork showcases a unique artistic vision that blends traditional iconography with the artist's own personal aesthetic.
