Le démobilisé is a 1916 crayon by Jean-Louis Forain, depicting Domestic Worker, held at National Gallery of Art.
Jean-Louis Forain drew a tired soldier in a dark coat. His head tilts down. One boot is untied. The paper is yellowed with age. This was made right after World War I. Many soldiers felt lost when they came home. The drawing shows that quiet struggle in just a few lines. Look up Forain, Jean-Louis to see more of his sharp, honest sketches.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
