This is a painting of two armored knights jousting on horseback. The image shows two knights clad in full armor engaging in a joust, with their lances breaking upon impact. The knight on the left is mounted on a horse adorned with a blue and gold ornamental cloth and helmeted with decorative antlers. The knight on the right wears a red plumed helmet and horse clothing. The scene is set against a simple background with a wooden barrier marking the jousting arena. The painting has a medieval manuscript style, reminiscent of detailed illustrations from that era.
