Mechanisches Versagen.
Jared French -- Cavalrymen Crossing a River -- 1939.
>> French's central mural for the Parcel Post Building in Richmond, Virginia, is now displayed at the Lewis F. Powell Jr. United States Courthouse. "Life" magazine reported that French painted himself into the mural as the figure wearing suspenders.<<
