Venice Cavalry Stradiot 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 Venetian stradiot light cavalryman, a Balkan mercenary of Albanian and Greek origin serving the League of Venice, dressed like Ottoman Turkish cavalry but wearing NO turban: little or no armour, only a padded linen tunic, a red felt cap with an upturned brim, a long overgown open to the knee and longer at the back than the front fastened down the chest with many metal buttons, green full-length stockings tied below the knee, boots; armed with a curved sabre, a short lance with a pennon, a small kidney-shaped shield strapped at his back, an iron-covered mace and an eared dagger; shaved head with a single lock of hair left on top; mounted on a light fast horse. Full mounted 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
