"Slaying the Dragon, " Art Deco Watercolor Painting

About the Item

Masterfully painted, this scene of an exotic knight fighting a fearsome dragon is full of energy, and the artist has used a vivid palette of greens, corals and ivories. No doubt painted to illustrate a book or magazine, the reverse is marked "La Quatra."
