"Slaying the Dragon, " Art Deco Watercolor Painting in Green and Coral

About the Item

Masterfully painted in tones of green and coral, this scene of an exotic knight fighting a fearsome dragon is full of energy. The dragon's snout and cresting suggests the influence of Chinese art, while the knight and his shield -- embellished with a knight chess piece -- is clearly of Western origin. No doubt painted to illustrate a book or magazine, the reverse is marked "La Quatra."
