Title
The Mothers of Belgium
Description
"This impressive drawing is, perhaps, the artist's rarest achievements, for these crape-shrouded, kneeling figures carry one's thoughts from stricken Belgium to all the mourning continent. Even in the clamour of war and the hatreds sown by it, everyone feels that the mothers' anguish is the same in every land, in our own and the enemy's countries."
