C’est la, que j’ai fini le cure c. 1914 - 1919

"C’est la, que j’ai fini le cure" is a poignant sketch by French artist Jean-Louis Forain, created during World War I. Dated circa 1914-1919, the work depicts a soldier gazing upwards, perhaps at a crucifix, the central figure. The drawing's gestural lines and minimal detail evoke the raw emotions and hardships of the time, making it a powerful testament to the human cost of war. This is a typical example of the artist's expressive and evocative style of drawings. Forain, known for his social commentary, captures the despair and reflection of war in this work.
