"7me 1914", a poignant drawing by Jean-Louis Forain, created between 1914 and 1919, portrays a lone soldier fleeing from a battlefield, seemingly from a shell explosion. The artwork, drawn in charcoal, captures the stark realities of World War I, with its simple yet powerful imagery. The graphic nature of the drawing conveys the artist's critique of the horrors of war and its impact on individuals.
