"Gassed, An Oil Study" is a preparatory work by the renowned American artist John Singer Sargent, created in 1918. This study served as a preliminary exploration for his larger and more famous painting, "Gassed," which was commissioned by the British War Memorials Committee to commemorate the harrowing experiences of World War I. Sargent, primarily known for his portraiture, was deeply moved by the scenes of devastation and human suffering he witnessed on the Western Front, and this study reflects his attempt to capture the grim reality of war.

The oil study depicts a line of soldiers, blinded and injured by a mustard gas attack, being led to a medical station. The figures are arranged in a somber procession, their eyes bandaged, and their movements guided by the soldier in front of them. The composition is marked by a poignant sense of vulnerability and helplessness, emphasizing the physical and psychological toll of chemical warfare. Sargent's use of muted colors and loose brushwork in the study conveys the bleak and chaotic atmosphere of the battlefield.

"Gassed, An Oil Study" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It provides insight into Sargent's creative process and his approach to capturing the raw emotions and brutal realities of war. The study is a testament to Sargent's ability to transcend his usual genre of portraiture and engage with broader, more universal themes of human suffering and resilience. Today, this work is appreciated both as a standalone piece and as an integral part of the development of Sargent's larger war painting, offering a glimpse into the artist's response to one of the most devastating conflicts in human history.
