You see a knight in armor sitting at a table with bread and wine. He looks calm and quiet. The interesting thing about this work is that it shows a moment of peace for the knight, which is unusual because knights are often depicted in battle scenes, and the artist used simple lines to create a sense of stillness. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: engraving.
