Duel of Knights 1800 - 1900

"Duel of Knights" is an anonymous drawing from the 19th century. The drawing depicts a knight on foot, poised over a fallen knight, sword in hand. The victorious knight is clad in armor and has a feathered helmet. The fallen knight is lying face down, his sword is on the ground, and his horse is to the right of the composition. The drawing's simple lines and hatching create a sense of dynamism, suggesting a moment of action and suspense. The drawing is a fine example of 19th-century art, reflecting a fascination with chivalry and historical themes. The drawing is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
