Description
A horse is tethered to various stumps. One front leg is tied to its halter, and its tail is weighed down by an anchor. The horse has a bandaged leg, and various patches across it's body. The soldier wears glasses and stands with his hands behind his back, looking at the horse. He bears the 'A' patch on his arm, which represents 'ANZAC' and indicates that he served at Gallipoli. The horse is skinny and standing with its head hanging down.
This drawing is attributed to Louis Vasco - the artist's given name was Vasco Loureiro but he enlisted as Louis Vasco and has signed his name 'Vasco', 'Spr Vasco'.
