Two Knights

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The scene is shown from a slightly elevated perspective, with riders and an undulating landscape visible. The horizon line is positioned about a third of the way down from the top, featuring small buildings and trees. The illustration employs fine lines and hatching for texture and depth, resembling engraving. The color scheme is primarily brown and beige, evoking early printed works. One rider on a galloping horse raises their arm, while another rider with a lance is on a more stationary horse. In the background, there are rolling hills and vegetation.
