The Knight Errant

Oil paint on canvas
Support: 1841 x 1353 mm

The moonlit scene depicts an act of medieval chivalry in which one such Knight errant, clad in armour, is on the point of freeing a woman who has been stripped and tied to a tree. The woman's clothes lie on the ground to the left and her molesters, assumed to be robbers, are seen fleeing the scene in the top right corner of the canvas. There is blood on the Knight's sword and the torso of a dead man is visible behind him.
