Mock Joust of War with Fixed Shields

Ritterturniere um 1512, circa 1512–1515

This is a drawing of a knight in armor falling off a horse. The knight, clad in red, green, and white horizontal stripes, is falling from a horse that is draped in a similarly striped fabric. The lance is broken, and both legs and arms are splayed in the air as the knight tumbles. The horse is striding forward. Surrounding the scene, there are illustrative elements, possibly architectural or decorative designs, framed at the top center. The colors are vibrant, adding dynamism to the scene.
