Drummer with Drumstick

This engraving depicts a soldier in a highly stylized pose, wearing an elaborate slashed doublet, a ruffed collar, and a fur-trimmed hat with a feather. He looks back over his shoulder toward a group of marching infantry, his muscular legs and the textures of his costume emphasized by meticulous cross-hatching. The large drum is slung at his side, secured by a strap and featuring visible cord tensioners.
