Sur la ligne de feu is a 1916 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, depicting World War I, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a scene with people and horses in a chaotic setting. It's drawn with black crayon and ink on paper. The details are rough, with bold lines and minimal shading. The drawing has a sense of urgency to it, with lines that seem to be quickly sketched. This suggests that the artist was trying to convey a sense of action or movement.
