Foot Combat with Longswords

German 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two armored figures engaged in a duel. The drawing depicts two figures clad in intricate armor. They both wear skirts, one covered in layered sections, while the other features a diamond pattern. The figure on the right raises a sword towards its adversary, who stands slightly bent, gripping a similarly long sword that is directed at the opponent. The scene is encapsulated within a simple rectangular frame.
