A photograph of a battle-worn French knight in half plate armor standing in a countryside field facing directly toward the camera on an overcast day while he is turned slightly to right. He is a man with short black hair with bright blue eyes and a clean-shaven face that shows dirt and battle grime. He wears a prominent steel gorget that protects his neck and upper chest and the steel gorget extends forward following the silhouette of his chin. Below the gorget a steel plackart protects his lower chest and both pieces are connected by a black leather strap with rivets. Overlapping steel plates form pauldrons that protect his shoulders and upper arms. The right pauldron has a high guard that shields the side of his face. Steel couters protect his elbows with their sharp edges turned toward the back. He wears short steel vambraces on his forearms and steel gauntlets on his hands. Black leather straps connect the plackart to steel tassets that protect his upper legs. Chainmail protects his groin and fills the gaps between his shoulders and chest. A dark leather belt with a brass buckle is worn at his waist. MedievalArmorFlux
