Soldiers in a Devastated Landscape [recto]

John Singer Sargent, 1918

The image shows a pencil drawing split into two parts. The upper portion includes sparse, barren trees drawn with angular strokes, arranged on a slight rise suggesting a rural landscape. The lower part depicts figures riding in a horse-drawn wagon towards a village in the distance. The figures and wagon are outlined roughly, with sparse details. In the background, there are indistinct buildings and structures, creating a monochromatic composition using varying intensities of gray pencil.
