Duitse ruiter in harnas 1577

This engraving, "Duitse ruiter in harnas" (German rider in armor), was created in 1577 by the Dutch artist Abraham de Bruyn. The artwork depicts a mounted German soldier in full armor holding a lance, while a flag with a plume billows in the wind behind him. De Bruyn was known for his depictions of military figures, and this print likely served as a historical documentation of the soldier's appearance. The intricate detail of the armor and the horse's trappings are characteristic of de Bruyn's style, showcasing the artist's mastery of engraving. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
