About the piece
Created in 1919 by Louis Keene, this mixed-media work on paper captures the strenuous labor of unloading ordnance stores in Eggershelt, Siberia. The artist uses a masterful combination of chalk and gouache to render the heavy, textured coats of the soldiers and the atmospheric effect of falling snow against the industrial backdrop of a ship's hull.
