This engraving showcases the Habit of Tancred in the Tragedy of Tancred and Sigismunda, a play from the 18th century. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration from Recueil des Habillements de Differentes Nations, Anciens et Modernes (Collection of Costumes from Various Ancient and Modern Nations), featuring designs by renowned artists such as Holbein, Vandyke, Hollar, and others.

His breeches are intricately designed to reflect the fashion trends of that era. A distinctive hat sits atop his head while he holds a spear in one hand—a symbol of power and authority.

The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every fold in the fabric and every accessory has been meticulously captured. It serves as both an artistic representation of historical clothing styles and as inspiration for theatrical costumes. Through this image, we catch glimpses into not only the character's attire but also their world—the drama unfolding on stage during performances like The Tragedy of Tancred and Sigismunda. It offers us insight into how clothing played an essential role in bringing characters to life on stage during
