Gouache on paper

The silhouette of the pawn serves as the frame for two other pawns as if they are moving through the arch of victory.

Gouache is an opaque, water-based medium that has a quiet richness and allows specific forms and textures to appear.

Again, this scene is placed in nature. Hence the sense of scale is deceptive.
A sculpture as a memorial to the common soldier.
