This is a drawing of two horses in a jousting scene. The description includes two horses clad in armor, one in red and white and the other in green and striped tones. The horse on the left unseats its opponent, shown by the armored legs and boots flying upwards, holding a lance. The horses are in a dynamic action pose, suggesting movement and the impact of a joust. The armor, colorful horse draperies, and posture convey a sense of medieval tournament spectacle. The setting evokes themes of chivalry and medieval tournaments. The composition is framed by a simple border on a parchment-like background.
