This hand-colored engraving captures a Renaissance soldier in full regalia, depicted with meticulous detail and delicate watercolor tinting applied by hand. The figure stands confidently in period dress with distinctive quilted hose, holding aloft a feathered fan in one hand and a lance in the other, while heraldic shields bearing inscriptions frame the composition. Circa 18th century, this work reflects the German tradition of detailed military portraiture and genealogical documentation. Such engravings served both artistic and documentary purposes, preserving the costumes and heraldry of the period for future generations.
