What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

Behold this depiction, a creation from our more whimsical realms of story and fable. The creature illustrated here is a grand dragon, a common beast in tales of knightly valor and sinister deeds. Its form is serpentine, with a long, winding tail and scales that adorn the body much like those of a fish, but far grander. The dragon sports a majestic set of wings reaching towards the heavens, akin to those of a giant bat or perhaps the largest of birds you might imagine, enabling it to soar above castles and mountains.Speaking of castles, nestled beneath its coiled form are the faint outlines of a castle’s towers, perhaps representing a kingdom under its guard or terror, depending on the nature of the beast as told in the stories from which it comes. Above the landscape, the skies stretch vast and undisturbed. The creature, possessing horns like those of a great stag and a demeanor that is curiously calm and majestic, is perched atop a pile of rocks which may signify its lair.This portrayal is encased within a border indicative of a parchment or painting, awaiting the touch of colors to bring its elements to vivid life, as is done in many of our modern illuminations but worked here as preparation for such further embellishment. It invites the hands of a learned artist to bestow upon it the hues that would animate its presence further, making the mythical palpable. It’s a work ripe for interpretations and a window into the fantastical, as perceived by the minds of our age.
