"And So He Rested on the Lonely Ground" (1885) by Will Hicock Low is a dramatic black and white watercolor on paper depicting a nude male figure standing in a forest setting. The figure is resting against a tree, his head bowed and arms resting on a nearby stone monument. The work evokes a sense of solitude and contemplation, likely inspired by classical themes of mortality. This artwork is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
