About the piece

Painted in 1917 by Wojciech Kossak, this work captures the dramatic intensity of the First World War. The composition features soldiers on horseback surveying the landscape from a high vantage point near a concrete bunker, rendered with the artist's characteristic energetic brushwork and atmospheric use of smoke and cloud to create a sense of movement and tension.
