A Standing Courtier is a 1440 ink by South German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man dressed in Renaissance clothing, standing with his weight on one leg. He wears a hat, a long-sleeved shirt with a high collar, and a short skirt over tights. The man's left arm hangs by his side, while his right arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand resting on his hip. The drawing is done in black ink with gray wash on laid paper. The artist used cross-hatching to create shading and texture. The man's clothing is detailed, with intricate folds and creases. The Renaissance style is evident in the man's clothing and posture. The artist's use of cross-hatching adds depth and dimension to the drawing. To learn more about this technique, look up cross-hatching.
