German Joust of Peace

Ritterturniere um 1512, kb. 1512–1515

This is a drawing of a medieval joust scene. The image shows a horse with a decorative brown and white blanket mounted amidst the aftermath of a jousting tournament. Two suits of armor are sprawled on the ground. The horse is adorned with a patterned covering, while the armors and shields nearby bear distinctive markings. The knight's attire is vibrant and detailed. The composition freezes a moment in time, capturing both motion and stillness against a blank background.
