The Standard-Bearer

About this work

This print shows a soldier in heavy armor, holding a flag that billows behind him. His face is serious, and he grips a spear with one hand while his other arm rests on a shield. In the background, a small group of people and a castle are faintly drawn. The soldier’s armor looks detailed, with patterns on his chest and gloves that show the texture of the material. The scene feels dramatic, like a moment of battle or leadership. Look up Master F. G. (German) next to see more of this artist’s work.
