Nice piece and a heck of a painting challenge

The arms do look rather balloons ..had is noce

Thanks..was thinking the fabric might drape more loosely.

As far as I know, the landsknechts stuffed their clothes with materials such as cotton wool, etc. because of this, the clothes looked shapeless, sometimes like inflated balloons ;-)

Thanks Sergey... I did think of posting similar contemporary prints but decided against it.

But, since you have, this is a good one which shows just how extravagant these outfits could be:

Daniel Hopfer | Five German Soldiers | The Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum.org)

and:
print | British Museum

Virgil Solis | Halberdier walking left and carrying a halberd over his left shoulder, two tents beyond, from the series 'Twelve soldiers of different ranks' | The Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum.org)

Here are all of Solis' 'Twelve soldiers of different ranks':

Sergey sure knows his stuff well and is one master sculptor.This is a great miniature.
