The Objective of War

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person kneeling and leaning slightly forward, with their head tilted downward. They have short hair and wear a loose-fitting coat or cloak. The background appears to be a flat, expansive landscape with minimalistic linework and a few small figures in the distance to the right of the person's head.
