노새와 폐허 by John Singer Sargent, 1918

John Singer Sargent traded his glamorous society portraits for the muddy trenches of World War I, capturing the devastating aftermath in loose, expressive watercolors. Two weary mules stand amidst the shattered remains of a village, their dark forms contrasting sharply with the pale, sandy rubble and dramatic purple clouds above. Created during his time as an official war artist in 1918, this sketch offers a surprisingly intimate look at the destruction of the Western Front, far removed from the stiff formality of his famous society commissions.
