I had previously found the source document for some of the Persian soldiers that appear in George Gush's Renaissance Warfare. It is Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian Costumes and Animals, 1684-5, painted by Jani.The musketeers, Gush figures e & f, are from page 09 a royal bodyguard and a musketeer. Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian Costumes The clothes and poses are nearly identical. Gush figure a is from page 016 Cavalryman. Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian Costumesand figure c is from page 08 a palace usher. Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian CostumesI have recently found the source of George Gush's 3rd Persian musketeer, Emperor Timur’s Ambassador in the Presence of Sultan Bayezid Yıldırım (“the Thunderbolt”), 1599-1600AD, an Ottoman manuscript painting in: British Library.
