Gallipoli landscape with horse and rider mounted on the horses neck. The soldier and horse have been drawn using black crayon and textile rubbing technique. The work refers to links between Anzac's and Homeric soldiers. Nolan stated (interview 13 April 1978) that horses in the 'Gallipoli' series relate to Homeric mythology rather than the actual Gallipoli story - the Homeric soldiers were horse breakers. The landscape is textured and appears scarred and ravaged through the use of Nolan's rubbing technique. Nolan had visited museums in Athens and seen many Ancient Greek sculptures and artifacts. The rubbing seems to refer to the style of hieroglyphic bas-relief sculpture.
