This woodcut print, *San Jorge (St. George)*, was created by José Guadalupe Posada in 1942. The print depicts the legendary tale of St. George slaying a dragon, a popular subject in art. Posada, known for his satirical and politically charged illustrations, captures the scene with his signature style of bold lines and simplified forms. The woodcut's small size and simple imagery contribute to the folk art feel of the print, making it a compelling example of Posada's work. The artwork is currently located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
