This is a drawing of a jousting scene with two figures on horseback. The lances of both opponents have broken in mid-air during impact. The figures are clad in armor, and their horses have colorful caparisons. The left figure's horse has a black and red checkered cloth and the rider's helmet features a crest with a plume. The right figure has their head thrown back and wears a helmet with a closed visor. The broken lance pieces are scattered in the air. The drawing conveys the intensity and suddenness of a jousting tournament. Handwritten text is present above and below the scene.
