Description: | ORPEN
image: A French peasant girl offers a soldier an apple. They stand in an archway beyond which lies the shell-damaged
houses of Péronne. He is wearing full kit, and stands leaning on his rifle. She has a basket hanging from her wrist, wears a headscarf,
long white apron and clogs. There is a dark sky above suggesting a storm is on the way.
