EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait sketch captures the determination and resilience of a Belgian mother and her young child during the tumultuous year of 1918. The image, titled 'Belgian Woman and Child in Flight,' depicts the mother with a bundle of wrapped goods balanced on her head, her face etched with concern and focus as she leads her child through an uncertain landscape. The use of color in this print adds depth and emotion to the scene, with the muted tones of the mother's dress and the child's clothing contrasting against the vibrant hues of the flowers and foliage in the background. The mother's attire suggests that she has had to leave her home in a hurry, with her simple dress and bare feet indicating a lack of time to prepare for their journey. The bundle on her head contains an assortment of essentials, perhaps including food, clothing, and other necessities for their journey. The child, clutching a small toy or doll, looks up at his mother with a mixture of fear and trust. This poignant image is a poignant reminder of the hardships and challenges faced by families during times of war and upheaval. It is a testament to the strength and resourcefulness of women, who often bear the brunt of the burden during times of crisis. The portrait sketch is believed to be from the 'March of the Women' Collection, a series of sketches and illustrations documenting the experiences of women during World War I. This particular image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of Belgian civilians during this period, and serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict.
