Two Knights

About this work

You see two men on horseback in this etching. They are dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The interesting thing about this work is that it shows a quiet moment between two knights, which is unusual because many artworks from this time period depict busy battle scenes or grand events, and the details in the horses' harnesses and the knights' armor are very precise. The artist paid close attention to these details. This suggests that the artist was trying to show the everyday life of knights. Check out the technique: etching.
