Standing Soldier 1550 - 1591

This pen and ink drawing, "Standing Soldier," by Jost Amman is a detailed depiction of a soldier from the 16th century. Created between 1550 and 1591, the drawing shows a soldier in full armor, holding a spear and a sword. The soldier stands confidently, with a determined expression on his face. The drawing is remarkable for its level of detail, particularly in the soldier's clothing and equipment. The background features a simple landscape, with a church in the distance. This artwork is a testament to Amman's skill as a draftsman and his interest in depicting the lives of ordinary people.
