Description: | Signed: yes Description: In the foreground, a group gather around a dying soldier with a gunshot wound to his chest. A close comrade lies with his head on the chest of the dying man, grasping his hand. To the right, three soldiers are standing; two are reading, one from a tiny volume (presumably a Bible) and the other from a small sheet of folder paper. They are probably conducting last rites. To the left, two more soldiers wait to carry the the body of their comrade to his grave. Behind, to the left, there is an earthen mound, very possibly a burial mound. | Subjects: | military and war; figure; history (Crimean War) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bellangé, Hippolyte (French painter and printmaker, 1800-1866) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8588... | Go to resource |
