Español: Pexonne, abril de 1918: boceto de entrada a un refugio

Un boceto en carboncillo y acuarela de la entrada de un refugio subterráneo enmarcada por soportes de madera, excavado en un talud de tierra empinado que se curva hacia la derecha. Troncos rotos y desnudos y una rama caída lo rodean, y pequeños refugios curvos se encuentran en el campo cubierto de hierba.
