The present work is a study for one of Luard’s most celebrated First World War drawings, a commentator writing of it: “It had expressive power and vigour, providing a moving record of the suffering of those times”. (quoted Oliver Beckett, Horses and Movement, Drawings and Paintings by Lowes Dalbiac Luard, J.A.Allen, London, 1988, p.32)
