This engraving by Melchior Lorck depicts a standing, cloaked soldier, frontally positioned, with a mace in his right hand and a war hammer in his left. The soldier is dressed in a long, hooded cloak over his tunic, with visible spurs on his heels. The detailed rendering of the soldier's attire and weaponry is characteristic of Lorck's style, which reflects the meticulous observation and meticulous documentation of detail that was common in 16th-century printmaking. This etching, created in 1576, is a valuable historical artifact that offers insight into the military attire and weapons of the time.
