Comments - Terrific triptych design illustrating the advance of the Japanese First Army on Fengtienfu during the Sino-Japanese War. An officer on horseback surveys the fighting below from atop a hill next to a tree. He grips his sword in one hand as he watches the Chinese fleeing as the Japanese rush forward during the attack. A beautifully rendered design with the officer and his men depicted in rich color, while the fighting in the distance on either side of the hill appears in soft misty tones, obscured by smoke. A fantastic Gekko composition, also in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
