A Belleau Farm, ruined war scene drawing, 1918

A pen-and-ink drawing of a farm in ruins, with a broken tiled roof, collapsed stone walls, and a cart and wagon wreckage in the foreground. Bare trees, scattered debris, and birds in the sky suggest a flat, war-damaged landscape under an open, lightly shaded sky.
