This is a drawing of a jousting scene. The drawing shows a medieval jousting tournament with two knights on horseback colliding in a joust. The horses are decorated in colorful caparisons, one in red, green, and yellow stripes, the other in blue and white stripes. The knights wear armor, one with a pointed helmet, both carrying lances. In the background, there is a crowd of spectators with individuals lining the fence and watching from a balcony above, dressed in various medieval styles, including feathered hats, ornate gowns, and tunics.
