This is a drawing of two knights engaged in a jousting match. The illustration depicts two armored figures on horseback, each wielding a lance. One knight appears to have been struck and is falling from his horse. The lance of the opponent has pierced his armor. The horses are elaborately dressed, with decorative cloth and armor. The colors are varied, with earthy tones and vibrant highlights. Fine details, such as the plume on the helmets and the intricate pattern on the armor and horses' coverings, contribute to the authenticity of the artwork.
