Rytter iklædt lang frakke og græskarlignende hovedbeklædning, profil mod v.; under kappen anes et sværd; bag hestens forben ses en cylindrisk sokkel bærende en kugle 1582

This 1582 woodcut by Melchior Lorck depicts a rider in profile, clad in a long coat and a head covering resembling a gourd. The rider's sword is visible beneath the coat. The horse's front leg rests on a cylindrical pedestal topped with a sphere, perhaps symbolizing the rider's power and influence. Lorck was known for his detailed depictions of Turkish attire and culture, which were likely inspired by his travels to Constantinople in the 1550s. This artwork, like many of Lorck's works, reflects a growing interest in foreign cultures and peoples during the Renaissance period. The image is a prime example of woodcut artistry, with its precise lines and rich detail.
