Description

In a palette typical of Lebasque, pastel tones of beiges, pinks, and pale blues, the artist has depicted three WWI soldiers standing near fortifications: a stone wall to the (viewer's) right and a barricade on the left, providing a pattern of horizontal lines. In the distance and overhead is a bright blue sky above green plants on the landscape. The three soldiers are the subjects of this work in their helmets, uniforms and carrying packs. They stand in a small group on planks facing each other.
