This is a drawing of a knight on horseback looking at windmills. The artwork depicts a knight mounted on a horse with an oversized helmet and lance, gazing towards windmills in the distance. The scene is rendered in a linear style with bold pen-like strokes that suggest movement and the flow of wind. The background contains horizontal lines which create a sense of depth and the horizon, while the foreground prominently features the knight and his steed in silhouette against the landscape.
