El tema de San Jorge es recurrente en la obra de Subirachs, pero hay que remarcar que al abordarlo siempre ha tratado de distanciarse del carácter folclórico del símbolo, evitando representaciones tópicas. Se trata de una figura de cuerpo entero y de pie. El rostro y el torso son esculpidos en negativo, mientras que los brazos, las piernas y el escudo vertical en punta, sobre el que se apoya el caballero, lo son en positivo. The theme of Saint George is recurrent in Subirachs work, but it must be noted that when dealing with it he has always tried to distance himself from the folkloric character of the symbol, avoiding topical representations. This is a full-length, standing figure. The face and the torso are sculpted in negative, whereas the arms, legs and vertical pointed shield, on which the knight leans, are in positive.
