Another case of fan art being used as a page image since this page was made back in 2010.

I also don't think Dante is a very illustrative version of the trope in practice either, so I'm recommending:

An actual musketeer, using the image from this website. I believe it can be used as long as proper attribution is given, not entirely sure.

Alternatively, the Musketeer unit from Humankind (though admitedly hard to see both the sword and gun at the same time, but captures the "only can use one of those weapons at a time" approach.

Last option would be this one.

My vote personally is on the first choice.

Honestly I would prefer to avoid a historical musketeer as I think that could make people think that the trope is narrower than it actually is.

Here's an official render of Dante (from Devil May Cry 2 specifically):

Found this gal from a rather obscure game.

The sword is clear as day and the musket is impossible to miss. Helps that it's a long-ranged gun.
