Description
This work is attributed to Louis Vasco. It was most probably drawn in France. It depicts a plucked bird with a man's head, which is chained to a wooden perch. He dismally faces the food and water bowls that are attached to his perch. The red 'A' on his shoulder/wing stands for 'ANZAC', and indicates that he served at Gallipoli.
