Visual Description

A large brown horse dominates the foreground, its head lowered toward the ground as if drinking or sniffing. Behind it a small group of horses and a bare-chested young man stand on a dusty path beneath pink and ochre rock spires. On a rocky ledge to the right a fully armored knight watches while holding a chalice. The scene is enclosed in a decorative gold border and the title KNIGHT OF CHALICES appears at the top with multiple language captions along the bottom.
