"The Standard-bearer Standing, Facing Right" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1587 during the Northern Renaissance. Goltzius, known for his virtuosity in printmaking, was a leading figure in the Haarlem Mannerist school, and his works are characterized by their intricate detail and complex iconography. This particular engraving is part of a series that showcases Goltzius's skill in depicting the human figure with dynamic poses and elaborate costumes.

The image features a robust male figure in the role of a standard-bearer, a common subject in Renaissance art symbolizing leadership and martial prowess. The figure is adorned in a richly decorated costume, reflecting the fashion and military garb of the late 16th century. He stands in a contrapposto stance, facing right, with his left hand gripping the staff of the standard, which billows out of the frame, suggesting movement and a sense of immediacy. The right hand is placed on his hip, emphasizing his confident posture.

Goltzius's use of hatching and cross-hatching in the engraving process allows for a remarkable range of tonal effects, from the deep shadows of the figure's armor to the delicate textures of his plumed helmet. The attention to detail in the depiction of the standard-bearer's attire and the ornamental aspects of the standard itself are indicative of Goltzius's fascination with the exotic and his ability to render materials with great precision.

"The Standard-bearer Standing, Facing Right" is not only a testament to Goltzius's mastery of the engraving medium but also reflects the cultural and historical context of the late 16th century, when the display of military might and the art of war were prominent themes in the visual arts. The work is held in various collections and remains an important example of Northern Mannerist printmaking, offering insight into the period's artistic innovations and the enduring legacy of Hendrick Goltzius.
