Geographic: Ancient Greece; Italy; Europe
Description: Inside a home, a man sits on a chair. He has long, curly hair and wears a tall hat. His clothing seems like those of novelty, or superiority. The man has his right hand lifted in the air, with one finger sticking out. In front of him is a small dragon on the ground, and a small axe. The dragon’s eyes are all black, and a deep cut to its neck is making it bleed out. An arch-shaped window shows a field far out.
