The face of this musketeer is hidden behind the iron glove and the halberd of Reijnier van Engelen⁰¹.

One eye is barely visible, and he holds a musket. His helmet is simple and similar to the helmet worn by the powder boy⁰².

In the right image, you can see the end of a long burning wick between the fingers of his left hand. Each musketeer used one long wick that burned at both ends. This made sure they could always fire their gun. It required skill to keep both ends burning and to keep the wick away from the gunpowder supply while loading the weapon.

Rembrandt does not show the other end of the wick, but it was likely held between the other fingers of his left hand while he supported the gun with his right hand.

Lunden's copy shows more of the man's face and his right eye. It also places the glowing wick slightly higher, without showing which fingers hold it.

Although he carries a musket, like Bronchorst⁰⁴, Willemsen⁰⁶, and van der Heede⁰⁷, he does not appear on the list of names. Because of this, he did not receive the long afterlife that Rembrandt gave to the men who paid to be included in The Night Watch.
