The illustration, taken from an oil miniature copied as a handcoloured copperplate by Martin Engelbrecht, is a stunning example of the artistic techniques of the time.

The cavaliers in this print are adorned with elaborate bewigged headpieces, signifying their high social status. Their military costumes are embellished with intricate gold and silver embroidery, velvet, and other luxurious fabrics. The detailed appliances, such as the breastplates, gauntlets, and helmets, add to the grandeur of their appearance.

The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print make it a prized possession for any history or art enthusiast.
