This is a drawing of a jousting scene. A knight clad in red armor and mounted on a red-clad horse is engaging in a jousting match. The knight's lance strikes the opponent, who wears blue and yellow striped attire. The opponent is falling off their horse. The horses are well detailed, particularly their covers and armor. The background is plain. The style and appearance suggest a historical or retro illustration typical of medieval tournaments.
