Melchior Lorck's "Bereden soldat" is a 16th century print depicting a mounted soldier in profile. The detailed woodcut showcases the soldier's ornate armor, including a helmet with a high plume, a shield adorned with a winged eagle, and a lance with a pennant. The rider's posture and the horse's animated gait are emphasized by the careful hatching and cross-hatching used in the engraving. This print is part of Lorck's series of illustrations of military dress and equipment from his travels across Europe, offering a glimpse into the armor and fashion of the 16th century.
