This is a painting of two armored knights and their horses in a jousting scene. The image captures a moment of action with one knight unseated, lying on the ground along with his horse. The other knight is seen partially behind a barrier, possibly still mounted on his horse. The knights wear detailed, colorful armor with blue as the predominant color, and their horses are also partially clad in matching caparison. The scene is bordered with an outlined frame above a handwritten note in an illegible script. The painting is created using delicate lines and watercolor, giving it a lively quality. This is in the style of Hans Holbein the Younger.
