This is a drawing of two armored figures on horseback, engaged in or preparing for a joust. The scene depicts two armored figures, each atop a richly adorned horse, facing each other with broken lances. The armor is intricate, with attention to detail on the plumes and horse armor. The horses are depicted with coverings that complement the knights' armor, and the broken lances scattered on the ground emphasize the action or aftermath of the joust. The drawing is done in a style that focuses on line work and light shading.
