This print shows a fully armored knight on horseback, holding a long flagpole. The knight and horse are facing the right, and the knight's face is mostly obscured by a large helmet with the face guard lifted up. A small halo of light surrounds his head. The knight's armor is intricate and covers him entirely, and the horse is adorned with a saddle and other straps, with some leaves or ribbons decorating its tail and forehead. A slain creature lies beneath the horse's hooves, with a scaly body and tail and a face like a lion. The background is blank, and at the bottom is the date "1508" and a monogram or artist's symbol.
