This drawing shows a man in heavy armor and a fancy feathered helmet. He’s holding a spear and looks like he’s ready for battle. His face is serious, with a short beard and deep lines. The helmet’s feathers are detailed, almost like a crown. The armor has lots of small lines and patterns, making it look tough and official. Check out more works by Georg Pencz (German, c. 1500–1550) next.
