Air Raid
Charcoal sketch
34 x 43 cm
At first glance, this charcoal sketch seems fairly innocuous, after all it seems to simply depict a series of parked military vehicles at an operational centre. Look more closely, however, and you will notice the fleet of German bombers flying in formation, swooping through the air. Look even closer and you will notice the clusters of lines radiating outwards: bombs are falling, buildings are being hit and dust is clouding the air. The base has been hit no less than four times and the chaos seems to stretch beyond the narrow frames of this sketch as the bombers fly into the horizon.
Condition: generally very good.
