Mock Joust of War with Fixed Shields

Ritterturniere um 1512, c.1512–1515

This is a drawing of a jousting scene with two mounted knights. The image depicts an intense moment in a jousting tournament where two armored knights on horseback are engaged in combat. The knight on the brown horse, clad in green and black armor, appears to have been knocked off balance. The other knight on the green and red horse's lance is striking towards the fallen knight. The victorious knight's mount is rearing up. The drawing focuses on the colors of the horses' caparisons and the knights' armor, embodying the chivalric spirit of medieval tournaments. Handwritten text at the bottom adds a historical touch.
