Woman and Two Soldiers at a Campfire 1932

Imre Reiner's 1932 drawing, *Woman and Two Soldiers at a Campfire,* depicts a scene of soldiers and a woman gathered around a campfire. The piece utilizes a combination of black and red chalk to create the figures and their environment. The simplified forms and sketchy lines of the figures suggest a snapshot of a moment. Reiner's use of muted color and gestural mark-making lends an almost melancholic quality to the scene, capturing the weariness and uncertainty of the soldiers and the woman.
