The Tournament with lances by Lucas Cranach: A chaotic scene depicting a jousting tournament. Multiple armored knights on horseback are positioned in the center, holding long lances. The knights are dressed in full armor, with some wearing helmets and others with their faces visible. Some horses are rearing up, while others appear calm. The knights' lances are pointed and crossed, some touching the ground. In the background, spectators are seated on bleachers and standing along the sides, observing the tournament. The scene is densely packed, with many overlapping figures and some fallen knights. The artwork is a detailed engraving in black and white.
