Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

[Oromë]

Can anyone tell me what this picture is of?
The annotation only says "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight"
Anybody have any idea who these guys are?
I assume its from Tolkiens work because its on the 1997 calendar but i have never read anything about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
