Created by Howard Pyle in 1907, this illustration is a testament to his mastery as an artist and storyteller. The scene depicted here captures a pivotal moment in the story of Sir Launcelot and his Companions. As Sir Gawaine gazes upon the shield before him, a look of recognition dawns on his face. Through Pyle's skillful use of lithography, every detail is brought to life - from the intricate engravings on the shield to the expressions etched onto each knight's face.
