Hey, I found it , I found it !!! REMBRANDT -
The Polish Rider ... how splendid ... thank you Jim McDougall ! Here is a close up of the soldier itself with his weapons showing very good : we see the Oriental recurved bow
(luk) and arrows
(strzala) with
sajdak quiver of undeniable Turko-Tartaric origins (I hope Rivkin reads this...) , the Hungaro-Polish
szablye on left hip , in his right hand the war-hammer known as
nadzaik and tucked in the saddle is the
koncerz. He wears a
zupan (long inner coat) and a
kolpak fur hat...
We can`t blame the man (n. - Rembrandt) for trying, however, a few abnormalities exude, mainly and most important the
koncerz (I know he meant to put a darn
koncerz not a saber there !) is curved and ha an uncharacteristic monture (I think I am too picky after all)...
Wolviex, how did I do with the Polish names and what do you think about this painting ? I say very nice but not perfect ...
szlachty without a mustache, I dont think so
