1916 WATERCOLOR PAINTING, SHELLED BELGIAN FARM HOUSE
1916 WATERCOLOR PAINTING, SHELLED BELGIAN FARM HOUSE
Excellent original ink and watercolor battle scene executed and signed by Canadian artist Lt. JOHN MCQUEEN MOYES (1888-1948) while serving with the 13th Canadian Battalion, The Royal Highlanders of Canada, in 1916. The 8 x 6 in. painting depicts the ruins of a country home at Ypres. The artist captions his work: "Sketch of house near Cafe Belge in the Ypres Salient by ruined by German Shell Fire". Fine condition. Moyes served for the length of the war and received two wounds in his left leg. One of his works is displayed in the Canadian War Museum.
