Ming Lamellar Spearman 15th c

Generated from: Osprey Men-at-Arms military history plate illustration, semi-realistic historical gouache artwork, muted restrained palette of grey and indigo, accurate East Asian armour, strong readable silhouette. A SINGLE figure: one Ming dynasty Chinese infantryman of the 15th century, full body, three-quarter top-down view facing right, centred on a plain flat light grey background with a soft dark ground shadow under his feet. He wears riveted iron lamellae and brigandine plates over padded cloth, a conical iron helmet with a small red plume, cloth puttees wrapped on his lower legs and straw sandals. He carries a long spear in one hand and holds a tall rectangular wooden shield in the other. East Asian face and features. Whole figure visible, hands and feet clear, limbs separated. No text, no border, no frame, no caption, no other figures, no horse.
