This detailed ink drawing by Otto Seitz is a design for a pendant. Created in 1889, the design depicts St. George slaying a dragon, a popular theme in art and literature. This subject matter evokes themes of courage and triumph over evil. The intricate details of the design, with its swirling foliage and ornate frame, are reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style that was popular at the time. Seitz's design, though created as a pendant, can be viewed as a testament to the enduring power of the St. George and the Dragon narrative, and its potential for artistic expression.
