Der Fahnenträger (The Standard Bearer) is a 1920 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a heavy coat, holding a flagpole with his right hand. His face is serious, with a mustache and a bald head. The background is dark and rough, almost like scratched lines. The title *Der Fahnenträger* means "The Standard Bearer," which hints he might be carrying a flag. The artist used a technique that makes the lines look like they were carved into the paper. Look up Corinth, Lovis to see more of his work.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
