This is a drawing of two knights jousting on horseback. The image captures a dynamic scene of a joust, where two knights in full armor are mounted on horses. The knights are depicted in mid-action with lances clashing. Both knights are adorned in elaborate armor with detailed patterns, and their horses are also outfitted with protective coverings, one in green and the other in a brownish tone. The setting appears to be an open arena or jousting field separated by a wooden barrier. The drawing features clean lines and careful shading to emphasize the metallic sheen of the armor, as well as the fluidity of the horses' movements. There are various inscriptions on the paper.
