Archero de la Cuchilla, reinado de Felipe III. San Lorenzo del Escorial, 1600
He situado la figura en el interior del monasterio de San Lorenzo del Escorial en el reinado de Felipe III, por lo que las baldosas del suelo están colocadas haciendo el mismo dibujo espigado que en el suelo del monasterio.
In this occasion Ihave painted a old figure modeled by mi dear friend Agustín (Augi) Rodríguez, that represent an archero of the cuchilla or of Burgundy, troops of the Spanish Royal Guard. These troops were integrated by hundred flemish nobles (according to the new ordinance approved by the King Felipe II) must be "of good presence, healthy, brave and without spot". The services of this guard were escort the King, inside palace and in the displacements of His Majesty. In this epoch the archeros were armed with a short lance with a long and broad leaf in the shape of cleaver, call "ahuja", from then they were known by name of the guard of the cleaver.
I have placed the figure inside the monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial in the reign of Felipe III, by what the tiles of the soil are placed doing the same ripe drawing that the soil of the monastery.

Les extrémes se touchent
In this occasion I show you an vignete modeled by Antonio Zapatero, and that I have had the pleasure of paint it. The vignete represents a veteran sergeant of the Imperial Guard, who is drinking with a child who has been playing at being soldier (exactly a drummer) and he has become his shako by papers and cartons, a rosette an the frontal sheet has made up, greeting very martial at the veteran. I hope that you like the figures that are based on Charlet's engraving (soldier and painter contemporary of the napoleonic epoch).
