Five Soldiers and a Turk on Horseback

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of five men and a turk on horseback. The turk sits on a horse, wearing a turban and holding a long spear. He faces left. The five men stand on the ground, all dressed in clothing and footwear typical of the 16th century. The man on the far left wears armor and holds a sword. The next man wears a hat and a cape. The third man has curly hair and a beard, and wears a long tunic. The fourth man is obscured. The fifth man stands on the right, holding a spear up in the air with his right hand. The background shows a landscape with trees, rocks, and a body of water. A ship can be seen in the distance on the right. The sky appears cloudy.
