a) La Borne, Verdun (recto); b) Wounded Soldier and First-Aid Man (verso)
This is a drawing of a prone figure among foliage and a directional marker. The image features a figure lying face down, partially obscured by dense vegetation. Beside the figure is a column-like object with the words "VERDUN 11 K" inscribed on it. The drawing is rendered in black and white, using expressive lines to create texture and movement. The composition contrasts the solid form of the milestone with the softer, flowing lines of the natural elements around it. The title "La Borne" is handwritten at the bottom of the drawing.
