A knight in shiny armor stands next to a woman in a long white dress. He holds a round shield and a sword, while she wears a cloak draped over her shoulders. The knight’s helmet has a tall plume, and both look serious. Behind them is a stone wall with a red curtain hanging in the background. The woman’s hand rests on the knight’s arm, suggesting a quiet moment between them. The painting uses soft colors and gentle shading to create a calm scene. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
