About the piece
Commissioned in 1918, this monumental work by Henry Tonks offers a poignant look at an advanced dressing station during the First World War. Tonks, a former surgeon turned artist, masterfully captures the chaos and resilience of the medical front, setting the scene against a background of structural ruins and a vividly atmospheric sky that heightens the emotional weight of the narrative.
