In the central archway behind a stone parapet St George and Princess Sabra embrace. The wall behind them is hung with royal cloth-of-gold. In the lower portion of the image, flanked by heralds playing fanfare, we see the remains of the fearsome dragon St George has slain to rescue the princess and hence win her hand. Part of the appeal of this work is its personal subject matter: the artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti depicted himself as St George and his lover Elizabeth Siddal as the princess. However, Siddal is shown posthumously, since the watercolour dates from two years after her death from an overdose of laudanum.
