This is a painting of a jousting scene. The image shows a horse in green and white striped barding on the ground, next to a figure in red and silver armor also fallen. The person is separated from their mount, with a discarded lance nearby. The scene captures a moment of a medieval joust, depicted through armor, barding, and weaponry. The positions of the objects suggest impact and motion. The drawing style resembles medieval manuscripts or illuminations.
