This drawing titled "Gewonde soldaat in een veld" (Wounded soldier in a field) by Dutch artist Heinrich M. Krabbé depicts a fallen soldier lying in a grassy field while other soldiers fight around him. The work is likely a depiction of the Aceh War, which took place in present-day Indonesia from 1873 to 1904. The graphic style and quick brushstrokes give the work a sense of immediacy and realism, characteristic of war sketches from this era. This work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant example of the human cost of conflict.
