This is an image of two armored knights on horses engaged in a joust. The knights are clad in detailed suits of armor with helmets that have feathered plumes. The knight on the left rides a horse with blue and red stripes on the barding, while the knight on the right rides a horse with green and white stripes. Both knights carry lances aimed at each other in a symmetrical composition. The horses are depicted with attention to their musculature, standing on a pale background, and additional elements like triangles and a broken lance motif add dynamism to the drawing.
