Ritterturniere um 1512, um 1512–1515

This is a drawing of a medieval jousting scene. Two knights clad in armor are depicted falling from their horses amidst a joust, each having lost their lances. The scene captures the moment of impact with dynamic motion, as the knights are off balance. The horses are covered in ornamental cloth, one in striped green tone, the other with a red covering. The paper has a slightly aged texture. The drawing includes text written in a historical script at the top right.
