About the piece
Painted in 1918 by Gyrth Russell, this oil on cardboard work captures the melancholic aftermath of battle. A single figure moves through a landscape of churned earth and shattered tree stumps, rendered in a sophisticated palette of soft purples and muted greys that imbues the scene with a profound sense of stillness.
