Trommelslager

The drummer is depicted in a dynamic, wide-legged stance, wearing a plumed hat, a starched ruff, and a decorative doublet with slashed sleeves. He strikes a large field drum with wooden sticks, while in the background, other soldiers including a fifer and a standard-bearer march across a hilly terrain. The engraving is characterized by the swelling and tapering lines typical of the Haarlem Mannerist style, emphasizing the textures of the fabric and the muscularity of the figure.
