content: A charcoal, pencil, and watercolor sketch on light gray paper mounted on a brown card frame of a "dump" at Dun-sur-Meuse. The scene is of an area in the village where supplies are stored. Boxes are piled on the left foreground of the scene in front of a covered camp wagon with several men helping to offload. A building on the left has half of its roof destroyed. On the right, a building stands intact. In front of the building, a motorcar is parked, and several men walk with several horses in front of them. An obscure building can be seen on the top of the hill in the background. The sketch is not well detailed, but it is colored in full. White, brown, red are used for the buildings. The sky is colored blue-green. The hill and the building in the background is shaded with charcoal.
