Lucas Cranach the Elder

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a medieval scene in a forest setting. The scene is detailed with forest foliage on top. There are armors and figures gathered under the trees. A knight in armor is seated or reclining with armor pieces nearby. Three figures are nearby, possibly interacting with the knight. A horse, also in armor, stands near the knight. Two shields hang from a tree branch. In the background, there are ancient buildings and a mountainous landscape. Birds fly in the sky. The drawing is intricate with fine lines, resembling a woodcut or engraving.
