Soldiers Fording a Stream
Maximillian Luce

The quickly-rendered sketch depicts a highly charged battle scene from World War I, in which soldiers ford a river on foot and on horseback. Figures in the background charge away from the viewer with weapons raised, presumably towards enemy troops.
Physical Description:
The minimally detailed sketch depicts fourteen men, many of whom are partially submerged in water. Some appear to ride horseback, and several brandish weapons such as swords and guns. The image is composed using ink wash over graphite, with blue ink accents.
