A wounded knight seated on the ground, supported by a companion who sadly covers his face. One of a group of twelve book illustration designs reproduced as an engraving in an 1834 edition of Robert Dodsley's "The Economy of Human Life," published in London John van Voorst. The image illustrates the text: "He hath not spent his life ill who knoweth to die well; neither can he have lost all his time, who employeth the last portion of it in honour."
