Remarkable that there were still men painting like that as late as 1509.

That's a terrific source for early C16th Spanish troops. I have oft complained about the lack of Suitable Spaniards for the earlier part of the Italian Wars as they are usually modelled with stuffed breeches and morions rather than tight hose and barbutes.
