Martyrdom of St George

St George kneels calmly in the foreground while a Roman soldier raises his sword to strike, framed by city walls and dark foliage. This painted icon (18th–19th cc.) belongs to Egyptian Coptic folk tradition, with flattened space, vivid colors, and expressive faces. Produced under Ottoman rule, such martyrdom images affirmed communal identity. The Arabic inscription reads Picture of Saint George the brave.
