So am I to assume from these posts that you two are of the opinion his caricature-like depictions extended to include the weapons he painted as well?
I ask as in the few other examples of his work I have viewed (this is the only one I have seen in person), his portrayal of small items of detail - namely articles of clothing, accouterments, and weaponry - seems to receive a treatment of realism that runs contrary to his style. For instance, look at the bottom of the third panel of his triptych
the Garden of Earthly Delights, where in addition to a more typical rondel dagger there are about a half-dozen other edged weapons depicted with accuracy and detail without a hint of exaggeration...
What
is interesting in this example of his work is the portrayal of the
same blade protruding from between the ears in the same (3rd) panel...
