"Man die een zwaard opgraaft op een oud slagveld" is a watercolor on paper by Alexander Ver Huell, dating back to 1854-1887. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two figures on a battlefield: one man holds a sword he has unearthed while the other watches. The scene is set against a backdrop of a city in the distance and scattered bones, evoking the remnants of past conflict. The delicate brushstrokes and muted color palette create a sense of melancholy, highlighting the impact of war.
