it has been a while since I posted any hussaria sketches.
well, voila, there are some, in various stages of 'undress' as per finishing etc :)
.
Nota bene 'O quam dulce et decorum est pro patria mori!' was and still is written on the monument of Crown Grand Hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski killed in action at the battle of Cecora, and eventually buried St. Lawrence's Church in Źółkwia, now Zhovkva in Ukraine. The monument stands in the area where hetman was killed in 1620 - Berezovca, Moldova.
ps
a Facebook page devoted to Husaria (winged hussars) history and reenactment has been having a little competition - "your own image showing hussaria or somehow connected to hussaria'' - and I placed one of these sketches there
