Portrait of a Halberdier (Francesco Guardi?), 1529-1530. Additional Info: Standing before a fortress wall, this well-dressed foot soldier holds a combination spear and battle-axe called a halberd. His direct stare and swaggering pose are strikingly poignant, given the smooth unlined face and slim body that betray him as no more than a teenager.
