This is a drawing of two armored figures and horses in a jousting scene. The image shows two knights lying on the ground with their fallen horses. One knight wears blue and white armor with red leggings, while the other wears blue and white armor with a checkered pattern of green and brown. The horses are covered in caparisons of different colors and lay tangled amidst the fallen knights. Broken lances are scattered on the ground. There is a number "19" in the upper right corner.
