This drawing shows armored knights on horses mid-joust. Shields fly through the air. The riders wear helmets without face guards. This was made with fine ink lines and colored washes. It looks like a playful sketch, not a real fight. The artist loved odd details, like shields that don’t protect faces. Want to see more? Check the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
