MI21138

[Inked caption] Water-colour en grisaille on board, 9Ω" x 11", image size 6" x 8".Date stamped verso "20 Jun. 96". [Produced for the Graphic,] 1896


No signature, pencilled notaton of "Nash" to the border. An absolutely stunning drawing of a mist-wreathed picquet behind sand-bags, the troops are huddled in foul weather capes, their Lewis gun draped in a horse-blanket. A scene from the Matabele Campaign.
