Year 19-- George still sketching! by George Ranstead
A humorous self-portrait of the artist showing him still sketching somewhere on the Western Front many years in the future. He is observed by an officer and two little mice, one of which is modelling for him while another enjoys a piece of cheese, perhaps given as payment for modelling services rendered?

EDITORS COMMENTS
George Ranstead: The Unyielding Artist of the Western Front (Year 19--, A Humorous Self-Portrait) In this delightful self-portrait by George Ranstead, we find the artist deep in concentration, still sketching on the Western Front many years in the future. The passage of time has not diminished his passion for art, as he continues to capture the world around him with his trusty sketchbook. The scene is set against the backdrop of a war-torn landscape, with the remnants of military structures and the somber hues of a distant horizon. Yet, amidst the desolation, George finds inspiration in the smallest of details. Two mice, one serving as a model and the other enjoying a piece of cheese, add a touch of whimsy and humor to the otherwise grim setting. An officer, intrigued by the artist's dedication, observes the scene from a distance. The soldiers around them, some with weary expressions and others with amused grins, bear testament to the fact that the war, like George's sketching, shows no signs of ending. Ranstead's self-portrait is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and creativity even in the most challenging of circumstances. As a humorous and insightful commentary on the enduring nature of war and the resilience of the human spirit, this illustration is a must-have for any collection focusing on historical, humorous, or artistic themes. This image, by the talented George Ranstead, is a testament to the power of art and the enduring spirit of those who create it, even in the most unexpected and challenging of environments.
