Soldier with Musket and Fork

The soldier is depicted in a full-length portrait wearing a plumed hat, a wide ruff, and a bandolier of individual powder flasks known as 'apostles.' He balances a heavy musket on his left shoulder while holding a smoldering match cord in his hand and a fork-shaped musket rest in his right. In the background, soldiers are seen performing maneuvers in a hilly terrain.
