The image shows a jousting armor display by Daniel Tachaux. A mannequin of a knight on horseback wearing silver armor with a visor and a plume on his helmet. The knight holds a long wooden lance in his right hand. The horse has a silver head and a body covered by a red and gold fabric barding. The barding has a floral pattern and hangs down to the horse's legs. The horse stands on a raised platform. A sign with information about the display is in the bottom-left corner. In the background, there are white columns, a high ceiling, and a red poster on the wall. The room appears to be a museum.
