This is a drawing of two armored knights jousting on horseback. The image depicts a scene where two horses are in motion as they pass each other with the knights in action. The knights, clad in contrasting sets of armor and clothing, appear to be engaged in a moment of intensity. The brown horse is shown rearing slightly as the blue knight seems to have been unseated. The scene includes broken lances scattered on the ground. The drawing has a traditional style symbolic of medieval or renaissance tournament imagery, contained within a border.
