Study for 'flying over the desert at sunset, mesopotamia, 1919' (iwm art 4623) image: a watercolour study of an raf re8 biplane flying over the mesopotamian landscape at sunset. The sun shines brightly at the top of the composition, over the biplane in the lower half. Below the ground is an arid brown, with a river winding through the landscape to the right and what appears to be a small lake to the left. Date: 1919 (First World War, Interwar).
