This is a drawing of a medieval jousting scene. The image shows two armored horses engaged in a jousting match. The horse on the left has lost its rider, as the armor-clad figure is depicted falling backwards. The horses are adorned in decorative blankets; the one on the left has a green and blue color scheme, and the one on the right has a red and green pattern. Broken lances are visible in mid-air crossing in an X-formation. The drawing captures the dynamic moment of competition, with attention to the varying patterns and colors on the robes and armor.
