Stitching the Standard 1911
by Edmund Blair Leighton
Oil on Canvas
The painting depicts a nameless damsel on the battlements of a medieval castle making the finishing touches to a standard or pennant with a black eagle on a gold background. In a time of peace the woman has taken her needlework into the daylight away from the bustle of the castle.
