France Melee Pikeman 1495

Generated from: Osprey Men-at-Arms military history plate illustration, semi-realistic historically accurate late 15th century artwork, Fornovo 1495 Italian Wars, restrained muted period palette, strong readable silhouette. A SINGLE Swiss mercenary pikeman serving King Charles VIII of France: unarmoured body, plain steel sallet helmet, white cross badge stitched on the chest of a brightly coloured puffed and slashed doublet in strong red and yellow, tight hose, 16 foot ash pike held upright in both hands. Full body figure, three-quarter top-down view facing right, centered, isolated on a flat plain uniform light grey background, soft small ground shadow, no text, no labels, no border, no frame, no scenery
