About the piece
Created in 1916 by Sir George Clausen, this Symbolist masterpiece captures a profound moment of collective and personal grief. A solitary nude figure is depicted in a state of huddling despair beside a simple wooden cross, set against a desolate, atmospheric landscape that serves as a powerful allegory for the loss of the First World War.
