This is a drawing of two jousting figures on horseback. The scene shows two armored figures in traditional jousting attire engaged in a joust. One horse is adorned in a red drape patterned with decorative emblems, while its rider is equipped with matching armor and a plumed helmet. The other horse is draped in a white covering, and its rider wears a blue outfit with similar plumed headwear. Each contestant holds a lance, which has connected in the middle, showing the moment of impact. In the background, there are faint sketches of an audience watching the event. The overall composition highlights the historical and ornate aspects of a jousting tournament.
