A peasant
Sketchbook containing 56 pages of drawings from his service during the First World War
- Scrapbook leaf with two sketches; verso: extended inscription
Description
Depicts a peasant standing in the middle of a field, his hands behind his back propping himself up on a long stick. He looks deep in thought as he surveys the ground. A low horizon gives way to a cloud-filled sky with trees in the distant landscape.
