This expressive print depicts a Swiss soldier carrying a child on his shoulders – a motif symbolizing care, solidarity, and social responsibility in the aftermath of the First World War. Such images were disseminated in connection with the Swiss National Donation campaign, serving to visualize solidarity with soldiers and their families. The minimalist yet emotional imagery, along with the finely rendered figures, lends the work a special depth, making it a powerful historical document. The print is framed in a simple, dark frame, creating a calm yet striking effect. It complements both classic and modern interiors, adding a subtle historical touch with a narrative quality. The signature at the bottom is an integral part of the design, underscoring the print's illustrative origins.
Condition: Good condition with minor age-related wear to the frame and paper. Overall clean and decorative.
