A Flag of Truce - Famous Art work & Drawing by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema

This painting of Sir Lawrence has a link with the Boer War of 1899 when artists raised funds to support the English army.

The man is holding aloft a bunch of white flowers. Generally when a white flag is shown by an individual, it is deemed he is for surrender and peace. This flower bunch here is compared to a flag of truce. Sir Lawrence’s 1900 oil on panel, is with Mr and Mrs Harold.H.Stream, new Orleans, USA.
