Portrait of the painter and writer Niklaus Manuel Deutsch (1484-1530) in colorful Swiss clothes, like those of a German mercenary or Landsknecht. He wears a floppy hat, a embroidered doublet over white shirt, elaborately slashed culottes with codpiece, and striped odd stockings. He holds a brush and easel with oil paints. Chromolithograph from Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," Frankfurt, 1889. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck (1811 - 1903) was a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator and etcher.
