Fragment of a 17th century painting "battle of Khotyn 1673" - you can see close ranks charging at speed:
In this part of the picture we can see a quite interesting array (but definitely a close one):

Another painting from that period - deployment before a charge:
And a 17th century depiction of the charge at Beresteczko in 1651:
