Francis Luis Mora

An important and poignant oil painting by the very well listed American artist and illustrator Francis Luis Mora. This large and expressive artwork was created as the frontispiece for the December 1918 issue of Red Cross Magazine. As published this was set atop moving poetry by Sara Teasdale reflecting on the mighty suffering and loss WWI had inflicted on our country’s women. A complete copy of the printed magazine with illustrated work is included in the sale.
