About the piece
Painted in 1918 by Clare Atwood, this evocative oil painting captures the quiet moments of soldiers 'on leave' during the First World War. Set in a bustling refreshment hall, the work masterfully uses light and composition to depict a cross-section of military life, from soldiers in kilts to those caught in weary repose.
