In plate 11, a soldier takes aim with unwavering determination, embodying the essence of marksmanship. Plate 16 reveals another aspect of their expertise as a soldier pours powder into the pan, preparing for action. The caliver becomes an extension of their strength and agility in plate With his right hand firmly gripping the weapon while extending his left to receive orders or communicate with comrades, this arquebusier exudes confidence on the battlefield. Plate after plate depicts various stages of preparation; from ramming home powder and bullet with a steady hand to charging their calivers stock down for maximum impact. These images offer insight into not only their physical prowess but also their strategic mindset. Even beyond individual soldiers, we see how important they were as part of larger units.

The legacy lives on as each depiction sheds light on this unique warrior class known as "arquebusiers.
