From the Art Institute of Chicago record
During its conflict with the Spanish Habsburgs during the first half of the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a flowering of the armor’s art. Once part of a heavy cavalry armor, this helmet with rounded forms and crisp lines exemplifies the best of Dutch workmanship.
