This image can be taken in many different ways. The three main characters each represent something that we may not necessarily think about at first glance. The young woman would normally represent purity within her high social class, being as she is white and has nice clothing on. Yet, because her dress contains the color red and green, she also represents impurity and envy. She is not the girl that she appears in society. The dragon in the photo represents evil and lust. The dragon has matching colors in its wings to that of the young woman's dress. This could mean that the dragon was attached to her in a way that was "inappropriate" and "evil". The knight represents the chivalry that was still alive in this era. He was trying to court the woman, but the evil of the dragon was standing in his way. This is why he tried to kill the dragon. The knight thought that if he could get to to the woman through the evil they could live happily ever after, even with her impurities. The whole picture is the natural battle between good and evil that is fought every day.
