Stitching the Standard
''Stitching the Standard'' is a painting by British artist Edmund Leighton. It 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.
The painting represents a late Pre-Raphaelitism, when life was untarnished by World War I. ''Stitching the Standard'' is probably listed as ''The Device'' by Leighton's biographer Alfred Yockney among the pictures from 1911.
