About the Item
F.R. Harper's striking painting captures the spirit of French resilience in the wake of World War I. A resolute young woman stands amidst the ruins of a ravaged village against the backdrop of a fiery sky. She stands heroically, clutching a rifle and bayonet as the French flag billows around her. This powerful illustration, commissioned by the Gerlach-Barklow calendar company, embodies the sacrifices made during the Great War and the hope for a brighter future.
Known for his idyllic Indian Maiden illustrations, Harper shifted his focus to wartime imagery during the early 20th century. This painting, likely created in the early 1920s, reflects the period of heightened Franco-American friendship following the Armistice.
