A 14th-century helmet in two views with a closed visor; drawing on paper glued by two side edges to a common cardboard, which is glued by its upper edge to a larger brown cardboard, 1875; drawing height 12.9 cm, width 8.0 cm; support height 16.4 cm, width 20.9 cm; cardboard height 34.8 cm, width 25.1 cm; military helmet, armor, knights' armor; maker/draughtsman: Aleksander Lesser 1814–1884; associated names: Emilian Lesser 1848–1912, Wiktor Stanislaw Zygmunt Lesser baron; 1853–1935., The image shows a pair of helmet sketches on a pale beige background mounted on a slightly darker beige sheet; each helmet is drawn in shades of gray with darker gray outlines and shading, and small areas of brownish-gray near the openings. The left helmet is shown in a profile view with a pointed top, a visor-like protrusion with perforations, and a flared lower edge; the right helmet is a similar pointed form shown at a different angle with a hinged visor drawn partially raised, visible rivets along the neck area, and shading that gives a sense of curved metal. The surrounding paper exhibits subtle tan and off-white tones and a few faint spots and smudges.
