Musketeer

Jacques de Gheyn II after Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image features a man standing confidently. He has a rifle over one shoulder and one hand on his hip. His head is turned slightly to the side, showing a profile with a mustache. He wears a feathered hat, a doublet with puffed sleeves, a high collar, fitted breeches, knee-length socks, and stylish shoes. A sash or cloak drapes across his chest, and a sword hangs at his side. The background shows a landscape with hills, figures engaged in activities, tents, and clouds in the sky.
