David Teniers the Younger - Guard room with saddle, pistolssuch & armor

 Salvete Omnes,

the paintings of the Flemish Teniers family artists have already graced this blog.
Today I would like to share with you this painting by David Teniers the Younger - The Interior of a Guard Room (painted between 1635-45). 

And in the foreground, on the right, we get a depiction of a Western European war saddle of this period (the Thirty Years War).

On the wall there is a pair (or a brace) of pistols in holsters, also done in red, like the saddle

war hammer /nadziak 

.

another saddle from this 1643 saddle (  a black and white/sepia photo of the painting available on wiki commons )

such armor could have been worn by reiters/pistoleers/cuirassiers and Polish winged hussars

and the another version or the color photo of the same painting -

enjoy
