Mock Joust of War in Reinforced Field Armor is a 1514 chalk by German 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
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 shows they cared about the details. The knights are shown in action, which makes the scene feel lively. This was drawn a long time ago, around 1512-1515, which is interesting. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: watercolor.
A German artist from the late 1500s drew lively scenes of knights clashing in parades and mock battles.
