Pencil sketch on paper. This landscape depicts the village and surrounding countryside of Mezy, France during World War I. A body of water cuts through the center of the picture. A line of roughly sketched troops marches along a road outside of the village. An inscription on the drawing, below the artist's signature, reads "Battle Field of the Marne - July 15-16 - 1918 - Sector of the 38 Regiment."
