Description:

It is set in the countryside with trees, and a village in the background a blue lake.

At the centre there are two men, the elderly bearded man touches the man young's leg, it should be a sprain.

On the right there is Saint George in armor on horseback, with a spear he is killing the devil, represented as a dragon.

Half hidden in the vegetation there are a pig and a bird.
