The Harvest Moon
Dunn, Harvey Thomas · ca 1918
A charcoal and watercolor painting on paper of the harvest moon shining over a field of dead German soldiers. At center are the bodies of three soldiers in uniform lying next to a helmet and a rifle (Gewehr 98) with a bayonet affixed. A large hole, probably from an exploded shell, is in the foreground. The bodies of eight more dead German soldiers can be seen in the middle ground in a field of yellow grass. There is a shell-torn village in the background. Above it all, a large yellow harvest moon is visible above the horizon. Signed by the artist at bottom left, "Harvey Dunn, AEF"
