This was probably a refused maquette for a resistance poster during World War II. The dead soldier seems to be German due to his helmet. The gory image implies that the death of Germans will provide freedom to France, and we see the same type of imagery in the following lot.
Signed gouache and crayon maquette.
This work will ship from Lambertville, New Jersey.
