The Boche Looter
Dunn, Harvey Thomas · ca 1918
A charcoal, oil, pastel, and watercolor drawing on paper of a German (or "Boche") soldier looting during World War I. The soldier is wearing a dark green uniform, a steel helmet, and holding a rifle with fixed bayonet. He is dragging a large white bag full of looted items, and is carrying several brass candlsticks and other objects, possibly garments. There is an umbrella lying at his feet. The soldier is walking on a cobbled road next to a stone wall and is looking back over his shoulder at the viewer. Signed at bottom left by the artist, "Harvey Dunn, AEF"
