"Aan het front geen nieuws" ("No News From the Front") is a 1918 drawing by Willem van Schaik, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of war. The drawing depicts a bleak landscape with a single human hand protruding from the snow-covered ground, surrounded by vultures. The vultures circling overhead symbolize the grim reality of death and destruction on the battlefield. This poignant image is a stark reminder of the human cost of war, a theme explored by many artists during World War I.
