This hand-painted 54 mm miniature depicts a Streltsy musketeer, one of the distinctive infantry units of Muscovy during the 16th–17th centuries. The Streltsy were among the first permanent, state-organized military units in Russia, forming an important part of the Tsar’s army and city garrisons.
They are known for their:
Long kaftan uniforms, often in bold colors
Fur hats, suited to Russian climate
Use of matchlock muskets supported by bardiche axes, which served both as weapons and firing rests
This miniature is painted with layered shading and historically-inspired tones:
