Description

A drawing completed by May Butler-George as a study for a relief panel for the plinth of the Mont St Quentin Memorial. The drawing depicts men of the 2nd Division Infantry engaged in an attack. These designs were made by Butler-George in her studio in St Kilda Road, Melbourne. She often used photographs of male models carrying out the actions she wished to depict.
