"Vaandel met zaag en hamer" (Banner with saw and hammer) is a drawing by Julie de Graag, a Dutch artist known for her distinctive graphic style. Created between 1878 and 1924, the work features a simple composition, with a banner on the left and a saw crossed over a hammer on the right. The minimalist design and stark black and white imagery showcase de Graag's ability to convey meaning through simple forms. The drawing is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
