Two armored men fight on foot with swords and throwing stars. One wears blue and white. The other is in green and gold. Their shields show family crests. This isn’t just art. It’s a training manual. The artist drew every muscle and armor joint. You can almost hear the clashing steel. Try ink on paper next at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
