Theodor Alt's *Landsknechte beim Würfelspiel* is a drawing depicting three Landsknechte, German mercenary soldiers, in a casual moment. The Landsknechte are shown in a relaxed pose, with one of them holding a tankard and another leaning on a spear. The drawing, which is housed in the Städel Museum, is a powerful example of Alt's skill in depicting the everyday lives of soldiers, highlighting their humanity and individuality. This drawing is a rare glimpse into the lives of these often-overlooked figures.
