Curatorial Narrative Saint Sam and the dragon is situated within the satirical cartoon tradition of late 19th and early 20th-century British illustration. Nankivell’s technique in this work exemplifies his ability to balance fine brushwork with a more fluid, gestural approach, characteristic of his modernist inclinations. The dominant palette of blues, particularly the deep ultramarine, serves as a backdrop for the dynamic interaction between Sam and the dragon, while the strategic deployment of white and red accents imbues the composition with an air of tension and narrative urgency.In its enlarged format, 44×49 inches, Saint Sam and the dragon assumes a commanding presence, its modernist design structures unfolding with increasing complexity. The chromatic structure, initially perceived as somewhat austere due to the prevalence of blues, is revealed in greater detail to possess a nuanced interplay between warm and cool tones. This
