It seems that in each of these renditions of the knight, he has a long waist and legs that are short relative to his height.
So is this because the illustrators copied one another, or is there perhaps a description somewhere that invites this kind of depiction of the knight?
Note the simple plain band on the neckline and the belt on the Picatrix example. This is surprisingly difficult to find in combination with other aspects of the figure's clothing and proportions.
I'm really wondering if the legend of this knight perhaps described him as a dwarf (as they called a person of small stature in those days).
