This is a painting of a jousting scene. It depicts two armored figures engaged in a jousting match, each mounted on a horse. The figure on the right wears elaborate armor with decorative elements on the helmet and rides a horse draped in a striped garment of green and white. The figure on the left is also armored, holding a shield, and appears to be recoiling from the impact of a lance. Lances are seen broken and scattered across the ground, suggesting a dramatic moment of impact. The composition is detailed with attention to the textures of the armor, horses, and garments.
