You see two knights on horseback, jousting in a field. They're wearing heavy armor, which looks really detailed. The artist took time to draw the armor, it's quite intricate. The jousting scene is a common theme in old art. It was a way for knights to show off their skills. This artwork is special because it's on paper, not canvas. Check out the technique used in this artwork, like watercolor.
