"Stående soldat, vendt mod h.; på hovedet turban, i h. hånd en løftet lanse med vimpel under spidsen; på v. arm et skjold med en stofomviklet fjerbusk" is a woodcut by Danish artist Melchior Lorck, created in 1576. This artwork depicts a standing soldier, likely Ottoman, facing right, wearing a turban and carrying a lance with a pennant and a shield decorated with a feather plume. Lorck was known for his detailed depictions of foreign cultures, making this piece a valuable historical record of the Ottoman military. The woodcut's sharp lines and intricate details showcase Lorck's mastery of the medium, creating a vivid representation of the soldier's attire and weaponry. The artwork is now held in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
