dc.description	Coetzee uses the legend of Saint George (ca. 275-303) slaying a dragon that nested in a spring which provided water to the city of Silene in modern day Libya. He depicts the dragon as a snake symbolizing the Christian reference to Satan as a serpent. This artwork was displayed in Coetzee's living room and is one of nearly 120 portrayals of Roman Catholic Saints in his home. A Perspex overlay (image below) was added by Coetzee at a later stage.	en_ZA
