In 1871, soon after the (Franco-Prussian) war was over, Wolf spent a fortnight in Paris with his friend Mr. D. G. Elliott, and they paid a visit to one of the battlefields. As a result, he added to the series of antithetical designs, on his return, Peace and War, an upright subject shaped like a gravestone. A Turtle Dove mopes on a branch, mourning sore over her shattered nest. Just below her, and embedded in a clump of forget-me-nots and bluebells, lies a soldier’s helmet illuminated by a ray of sunlight in which some butterflies take their pleasure. The mourning of some bird over a destroyed nest is a favourite subject, and there are other versions.
Im Jahr 1871, kurz nach dem Ende des (französisch-preußischen) Krieges, verbrachte Wolf mit seinem Freund D. G. Elliott zwei Wochen in Paris und sie besuchten eines der Schlachtfelder. Infolgedessen fügte er nach seiner Rückkehr der Reihe antithetischer Entwürfe Frieden und Krieg ein aufrechtes Motiv in Form eines Grabsteins hinzu. Eine Turteltaube hockt auf einem Ast und trauert um ihr zerstörtes Nest. Direkt unter ihr, eingebettet in ein Büschel von Vergissmeinnicht und Glockenblumen, liegt ein Soldatenhelm, der von einem Sonnenstrahl beleuchtet wird, an dem sich einige Schmetterlinge erfreuen. Die Trauer eines Vogels über ein zerstörtes Nest ist ein beliebtes Motiv, und es gibt weitere Versionen.
