Salve,
this work is really a reworking of a late XVII century image from a painting showing election (Polish-Lithuanian nobles elected their kings
wikipedia.org Free_election ). I do not have a large copy of the painting (shown here in this book cover
historycy.org 3277 ) so I decided to 're-create' this late XVII century hussar, amongst other sources using this early XVIII century painting
wikimedia.org/ Kalisz1706.jpg showing Polish-Russian victory over the Polish-Saxon forces during the Great Northern War
.wikipedia.org Great_Northern_War at the ancient city of Kalish (Roman Calisia).
Progress will happen after the holidays (Christmas and New Year etc ).
ps
