About This Work
The figure stands in a heroic, wide-legged stance, wearing a voluminous ruff, a feathered hat, and decorative breeches while clutching a tall, ornate pike. In the background, a landscape reveals a sprawling army camp with rows of tents and soldiers gathering on a distant hillside. The engraving is characterized by the swelling lines and intricate cross-hatching typical of the Haarlem Mannerist school.
Inscriptions(German)
Raphael de Mey fecit Iohan bussmecher excudit So han ich auch kein geringen befell, Das volck in rechte ordnung Stell. Geh auf und ab mit fleissiger hutt, Den Weibler man mich nennen thut.
