This 1576 etching by Melchior Lorck depicts a mounted standard-bearer in profile. The standard itself is a two-part flag, with a flowing ribbon trailing in the air. The rider holds the standard spear in his right hand, with a shield strapped to his left arm. The drawing style is finely detailed, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the intricate folds of the clothing and the anatomy of the horse. This piece is a testament to Lorck's talent for capturing the visual elements of 16th-century military life.
