About this work

You see two armored figures fighting with daggers. They are in a intense stance, ready to attack. Their armor and poses show a lot of detail, which was a focus of artists back then. The way the figures are drawn gives a sense of movement. The artist paid close attention to how the armor and clothes fold and bend. Check out the work of the artist: German 16th Century.
