This is a drawing of two armored knights jousting on horseback. The image depicts two knights clad in detailed armor engaged in a jousting duel. Each knight is seated atop a horse, one wearing a blue surcoat and helmet with ornate plumes, while the other is in richly decorated armor with hints of gold and brown. Both horses are elaborately draped in colorful cloth matching the rider's attire. Lances are pointed towards one another, capturing movement with the dynamic pose of the animals and scattered broken lance pieces. The background is simply detailed, emphasizing the jousting interaction.
