Troops Waiting to Advance at Hattonchâtel, St. Mihiel Drive, 1918

A drawing of soldiers in steel helmets sitting and standing among rubble beneath a stone arch in a ruined village. Figures crowd the foreground and archway, while a hazy sky and a bare tree show through the opening. The charcoal, wash and gouache create soft, muted greens and grays.
