Standing Officer Holding a Boar's Spear

Hendrick Goltzius

Cleveland Museum of Art

The man is standing on a ground surface with bare feet, wearing a large hat with a wide brim and a decorative element on the front, a ruffled collar and cuffs on his shirt, and loose-fitting shorts. A cape or sash is draped over his shoulder and around his waist, and a sword is at his side. He holds a long spear with a large blade in his right hand. His left hand grips the shaft of the spear. The man has facial hair and a serious expression. A crowd of people and a fence are in the background.
