This intricate relief etching by Hubert Quellinus, dating back to the late 17th century, is a dynamic depiction of weaponry and armor. The central figure, a knight in full armor, stands amidst a swirling array of swords, shields, flags, cannons, and other military paraphernalia. The detail and precision of the etching, with its interplay of light and shadow, highlights the artist's mastery of the medium, typical of Baroque art. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artistry and military culture of the Dutch Golden Age.
