Grenadier in the Greek Style, Plate 3

Benigno Bossi

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a standing male figure. The figure wears a helmet with a tall, cylindrical crest and a decorative breastplate. The breastplate features a central rectangle with a Greek key design and a circle containing a four-petaled flower at its center. The figure's torso is covered with scale-like armor, and he has feathered or plume-like elements on both sides of his helmet. His arms are bent at the elbow, with hands resting on a decorative element that appears to be connected to a shield or protective gear. A braided element hangs down from the sides of the shield or gear. The figure's legs are covered with boots. Text at the bottom reads "Grenadier à la Grecque".
