This painting shows a crumbling building with broken windows and a sagging roof. Bare trees stand in front, their branches tangled against a pale sky. The ground is littered with debris, and the walls look weathered and cracked. The artist painted this right after an air raid in 1918, showing the damage left behind. The loose, sketchy brushstrokes make the scene feel urgent and raw. Look up John Wright RE to see more of his work.
