Contemporary artwork, created by Horst Ludwig "ALKUHL", Named
Kriegsende - Ruhe nach dem Strum

The watercolor "End of the War - Calm After the Storm" is in a gray to black-brown tonal palette and conveys a dark, pensive mood. It shows a scene from the end of the war, in which tired and hungry soldiers sit huddled together in the left half of the picture, lost in thought. In the center of the picture, two soldiers sit on a stool and have an intense conversation. The two horses, equipped with war saddles and bowed heads, turn backwards and frame the central action. Their posture reflects the exhaustion and resignation that the soldiers also feel. The watercolor uses flowing, blending colors to emphasize the seriousness and emotional depth of the scene. This artwork not only captures the physical state of soldiers and horses at the end of a conflict, but also the psychological burden they bear.
