The image is a detailed black and white woodcut illustration of a dragon. The dragon is depicted in a side profile, appearing to be in mid-flight or a dynamic pose. It has a long, serpentine body covered in scales, a pair of wings, and four legs with clawed feet. The head is reptilian with a slightly open mouth revealing teeth. The wings are large and have a ribbed structure. The tail is long and curves around. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of medieval or Renaissance bestiaries or illuminated manuscripts, with a focus on detailed linework and a somewhat stylized representation of the creature. The background is a plain, off-white color, giving the impression that the image is taken from an old book or document.
