Paardenknecht met pijlenkoker aan een bandelier 1510 - 1546

This drawing by Giulio Romano, titled "Paardenknecht met pijlenkoker aan een bandelier," depicts a soldier in full armor, complete with a feathered helmet, a quiver of arrows, and a sword. Created sometime between 1510 and 1546, the drawing showcases Romano's mastery of figure drawing and his ability to capture the details of military attire. The soldier's dynamic pose, with his arm outstretched, creates a sense of movement and action, reflecting the spirit of the High Renaissance. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, provides a glimpse into the artistic practice of one of the most celebrated artists of the Italian Renaissance.
