Sur le Front. -C'est sa theorie? -Non, c'est son breviaire.

Jean-Louis Forain, c. 1914/1919

This is a drawing depicting two figures in a landscape setting. One figure in the foreground is walking while reading a book, wearing a coat and hat. Another pair of figures can be seen in the bottom-left corner. The background features a simple horizon line and emptiness.
