Duitse tamboer te paard 1577

"Duitse tamboer te paard" (German drummer on horseback) is an engraving by Abraham de Bruyn, a renowned Dutch artist, created in 1577. The artwork depicts a German drummer mounted on a horse, holding drumsticks in his right hand, ready to strike the drum. The detailed depiction of the drummer's uniform and the horse's anatomy demonstrates de Bruyn's mastery of engraving, capturing the essence of military life in 16th-century Europe. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to de Bruyn's skill and provides a glimpse into the historical context of military parades and ceremonies.
