Original fileOfficier met lans Drie militaire functionarissen uit het Nederlandse leger (serietitel)
after Hendrick Goltzius
A military officer in elaborate late-16th-century attire stands in a landscape, holding a tall lance decorated with a spiral motif. He wears a wide-brimmed feathered hat and a prominent ruff, looking back over his shoulder toward the viewer. In the lower-left background, two smaller figures carry polearms through the rolling hills.
