"Standard-Bearer and Drummer" is a renowned engraving by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham, created in 1525 during the Renaissance period. Beham, a prominent figure of the Little Masters—a group of German artists known for their small, intricate prints—was celebrated for his detailed and expressive works that often depicted religious, mythological, and genre scenes.

The engraving features two figures, a standard-bearer and a drummer, which are believed to represent the mercenary soldiers common throughout Europe during the 16th century. These soldiers played a significant role in the numerous conflicts of the era, and their representation in art reflects the social and historical context of the time. The standard-bearer is depicted holding a flag, an emblem of identity and pride for military units, while the drummer is shown with a drum, an instrument essential for communication and maintaining morale among troops.

Measuring approximately 8.2 cm x 5.8 cm, "Standard-Bearer and Drummer" is a fine example of Beham's skill in engraving, showcasing his ability to render figures with precision and clarity in a compact format. The composition is dynamic, with the figures positioned in a manner that suggests movement and energy, a characteristic feature of Beham's artistic style.

The engraving is also notable for its reflection of the influence of the Italian Renaissance on Northern European art. Beham, like many of his contemporaries, was influenced by the works of Italian masters, which is evident in the anatomical accuracy and the sense of perspective in the piece.

"Standard-Bearer and Drummer" is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors for its historical significance and artistic merit. It remains an important work for the study of German Renaissance art and provides insight into the cultural and military milieu of 16th-century Europe. The engraving can be found in various art collections, including museums and galleries that specialize in prints and drawings from this period.
