Description
Artillery manoeuvres in hilly terrain. An artillery division from Arnhem is looking for a position in the countryside. On the road we see a carriage from behind. In the middle, two officers stand on their brown and blue-grey mounts and dominate the surroundings. On the left, cannon transport seen from behind. It is still the first hours of the day. The sky is shrouded in pink clouds and the horizon fades into shades of slate blue. Framed watercolour painting, signed
