is a captivating lithograph by Belgian artist Louis Raemaekers that offers a thought-provoking commentary on the tumultuous times of the First World War. In this colorful and satirical cartoon, we find ourselves in the presence of an intriguing character seated at a desk, deep in contemplation. The image portrays a demonic figure, symbolizing evil and malevolence, depicted with vibrant green hues. This devilish entity represents the war itself, lurking in the background as it exerts its influence over nations and people alike. The artist skillfully conveys his indictment of war through this powerful visual metaphor. Titled "The Sleeping Partner" this artwork suggests that while Raemaekers may not personally benefit from engaging with such destructive forces, he recognizes that his partners possess sufficient competence to carry on without him. This implies that even though individuals may distance themselves from conflict or choose neutrality during wartime, they cannot escape its impact entirely.
