This vibrant tempera painting depicts a fantastical dragon rendered in bold, intricate patterns and jewel-toned colors. The creature's body features elaborate decorative detailing with layered wings, ornate feathering, and a serpentine form characteristic of mythological beasts. Surrounding flora including stylized plants and grasses frame the composition, while the artist's signature appears discretely on the canvas. The work exemplifies a distinctive approach to magical realism through meticulous hand drawn line work and saturated pigmentation. This 1972 piece demonstrates masterful control of color harmony and imaginative subject matter.
