The Thinker on the Butte de Warlencourt Art.IWMART2984, William Orpen

The thinker on the butte de warlencourt image: a young soldier in full kit, sitting on a rock on a mound. With his hand held pensively to his chin, his pose evokes 'the thinker'. He sits against a background of dark blue sky, his features illuminated by a light shinin down on him from the top left of the composition. Date: 1917 (First World War).
