Fellow Soldier 1917

"Fellow Soldier" (1917), a portrait by Walter Gramatté, depicts a man in a dark suit with a somber expression. The bold brushstrokes and use of color create a sense of unease, reflecting the artist's own experiences as a soldier in World War I. The painting's title and the subject's pose suggest a shared experience of hardship and resilience, making it a poignant example of Expressionist art.
