About the piece

Painted in 1918 while A.Y. Jackson served as an official war artist, this work captures a moment of military logistics along a 'screened road' in France. The tall camouflage nets create a textured, rhythmic backdrop for the column of soldiers and horse-drawn carriages, rendered in Jackson's signature expressive brushwork and airy, atmospheric palette.
