This print shows a chaotic scene of war’s aftermath. A woman in dark robes pulls a child away from a naked man lying on the ground, his arm raised in pain. Around them, other figures—some armed, some wounded—scramble or collapse. In the background, a building burns, and a winged figure with a spear hovers above, while smaller children cower nearby. The title, *Les Suites de la Guerre* (The Aftermath of War), hints this isn’t just battle—it’s the suffering that follows. The mix of naked bodies and dramatic lighting makes the scene feel raw and urgent. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
