Title
Grand'Place and Ruins of the Cloth Hall, Ypres
Description
Accompanying text reads:
"The gaunt emptiness of Ypres is expressed in this drawing, done from the doorway of a ruined church in a neighbouring square. The grass has grown long this summer on the Grand'Place and is creeping up over the heaps of ruins. The only continuous sound in Ypres is that of birds, which sing in it as if it were country."
