This is a drawing of two jousting knights on horseback. The drawing depicts two armored knights engaged in a joust, each riding a horse and carrying a lance. Both knights are wearing helmets adorned with elaborate crests; one with a bird-like creature and the other with antler decorations. The armor and horses are decorated with colorful patterns. The background appears plain. Below the horses, a lance is broken. The drawing skillfully combines line work with watercolor to give a sense of movement and historical context.
