This is a drawing of a fallen knight in armor on the ground with a sword. The knight appears to be lying on a rustic landscape, with an arm outstretched clutching a shield, while trees and a windmill provide environment in the background. Light, sketchy lines characterize the style, with quick strokes suggesting movement and detailing. The background features suggestive outlines of people in the midst of action.
