"Sunrise, Inverness Copse" is a watercolor created by English artist Paul Nash in 1918, during the final year of World War I. The painting captures a landscape from the Western Front near Ypres in Belgium, derived from an eye-witness sketch Nash drew in 1917. The artwork features bold chalk and ink lines that evoke a sense of urgency and emotion, reflecting motifs of Expressionism. The scene's raw power and distorted perspective align with Nash's interest in capturing the chaos of war, making it a compelling example of war-time landscape art. The original drawing resides in the Imperial War Museum, London.
