About the piece

Painted in 1918 by Charles William Jefferys, this watercolor depicts Polish soldiers forming a line in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada. The soft, atmospheric light of the winter sky contrasts beautifully with the disciplined line of figures in dark uniforms, creating a historical scene of quiet resolve and wintery stillness.
