Soldiers in steel helmets wait among rubble under a ruined stone arch, with a hazy landscape beyond, in a muted green and gray wartime drawing.

Troops Waiting to Advance at Hattonchâtel - St. Mihiel Drive

A drawing of soldiers in steel helmets sitting and standing among rubble beneath a stone arch in a ruined village. Figures crowd the foreground and archway, while a hazy sky and a bare tree show through the opening. The charcoal, wash and gouache create soft, muted greens and grays.

Español: Tropas esperando para avanzar en Hattonchâtel, ofensiva de Saint-Mihiel

Un dibujo de soldados con cascos de acero, sentados y de pie entre escombros bajo un arco de piedra en un pueblo en ruinas. Las figuras llenan el primer plano y el arco, y un cielo brumoso y un árbol sin hojas se ven a través de la abertura. Carboncillo, aguada y gouache crean tonos verdes y grises apagados.

Um desenho de soldados com capacetes de aço, sentados e em pé entre escombros sob um arco de pedra em uma aldeia em ruínas. As figuras ocupam o primeiro plano e o arco, e um céu enevoado e uma árvore sem folhas aparecem na abertura. Carvão, aguada e guache criam tons de verde e cinza suaves.
