About the piece
Created in 1918 by Alfred Bastien, this watercolor captures a moment of quiet movement during the First World War. Scottish Canadian soldiers, identifiable by their kilts, are shown marching through a hazy landscape, with the red poppies in the foreground offering a soft contrast to the muted, dusty tones of the scene.
