A Standing Soldier 1561

"A Standing Soldier" is a pen drawing created in 1561 by Michel Kirmer, a German artist who worked in the late 16th century. The drawing depicts a soldier in full armor, standing with a spear and sword. Kirmer captures the soldier's powerful stance and the intricate details of his armor, including the feathered helmet and the decorated leg guards. The drawing is a fine example of Kirmer's masterful use of line and shading to create a sense of realism. The work is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
