"A Farewell, 7th Canadian, Etaples" is a poignant painting by the Australian artist Isobel "Iso" Rae, created during her time as a war artist in World War I. Iso Rae, born in Melbourne in 1860, was one of the few female artists who documented the war, providing a unique perspective on the experiences of soldiers and the environments they inhabited. Rae's work is particularly significant as it captures the often-overlooked aspects of wartime life, focusing not just on the battles but also on the moments of respite and the human side of the conflict.

The painting depicts a scene at the Étaples Military Cemetery in France, where many soldiers of the British Empire, including Canadians, were buried. The title, "A Farewell, 7th Canadian, Etaples," suggests a specific moment of mourning or commemoration for a member of the 7th Canadian Battalion, reflecting the personal and collective grief experienced during the war. Rae's use of color and composition in this work conveys a somber and reflective mood, emphasizing the solemnity of the occasion.

Iso Rae's contribution to war art is notable for its emotional depth and attention to detail. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Rae chose to focus on the quieter, more introspective moments of the war, providing a counter-narrative to the often glorified depictions of battle. Her works, including "A Farewell, 7th Canadian, Etaples," are valuable historical documents that offer insight into the daily lives and emotional landscapes of those affected by the war.

Rae's paintings were created while she was living in Étaples, a town that served as a major base for the British Army. Her proximity to the front lines and her interactions with soldiers and medical staff allowed her to capture scenes with authenticity and empathy. Today, Iso Rae's works are recognized for their historical significance and artistic merit, providing a vital record of World War I from a female perspective.
