Drawn by Sobek for a 1915 wartime issue of La Baïonnette, this interior illustration shows a nurse paused while reading a letter from the front. Her posture is steady, but her expression carries the weight of fatigue and restraint.
The caption supplies the dark irony: the soldier writes that he has received both a medal and grievous injury at once. Understatement collides with brutality. With minimal gesture and muted tone, the image exposes the human cost of war through stillness rather than spectacle.
