‘We know from Nash’s wife that his drawings were sometimes splattered with #mud from nearby exploding shells, and he would use it to give the artwork more #colour’, says Philip Harley, our Senior Director of Modern British Pictures in London.

Paul Nash was drafted to the Battle of #Passchendaele, one of the First World War’s bloodiest #conflicts, during its final stages. This drawing was a metaphorical depiction of the events: Nash’s work as a #war artist forbade him from showing human #figures. Instead, the #landscape represented the fallen soldiers, shown in the ‘gaping, wound-like red earth and the lurid sulphuric colours’. Paul Nash (1889-1946), A Farm, Wytschaete, 1917. Ink, chalk, charcoal and watercolour on buff paper, 10 x 14 in (25.4 x 35.6 cm). Estimate: £250,000-350,000.
