Unknown Dragonslayer, 2021

9" x 12" Watercolor on Paper; unframed.

What Grace have I? One who picks up a sword and goes into a fight from which they will not return and for which their name will not be praised, honoured or even remembered. Yet the task uncoils before us and we can look forward to peace when the fight is done. What Grace have any of us?

The figure is borrowed from Pieta by Daniele Crespi.
