The War by Henri Rousseau: A drawing on orange paper depicting a woman on a horse with a sword in one hand and a severed head in the other, surrounded by numerous dead bodies on the ground. The woman faces right; her body and face are angled towards the background. She has long hair and wears a long dress. The dead bodies are on the ground at the bottom, some with exposed buttocks. A few sticks or spears are visible on both sides. The sky is cloudy.
