Retiring Wounded from Battle is a 1779 ink by Robert Blyth, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows soldiers helping a wounded man off the battlefield. Smoke lingers in the background. The men look tired but careful as they move through the grass. It’s an early Romantic work, made before the movement took off. The artist used fine lines to capture light and shadow. See how the wounded man leans on his friends? Check out Blyth, Robert next.
