Crossing Under Fire

A childlike colored-pencil battlefield scene stretches across a divided landscape of sandy hills and blue water. Tanks advance along the shore while small boats carry groups of soldiers, a larger amphibious vehicle moves below, and bright stylized flames rise from several points on the terrain. An Egyptian flag anchors the right side, while simplified figures, boats, and aircraft create a narrative of military movement and river crossing. Hand-drawn outlines, uneven proportions, and textured coloring give the work the directness of naive folk illustration.
