"The Search" is a notable painting by the British artist William Barnes Wollen, created in 1904. Wollen, who was renowned for his military and historical scenes, captures a poignant moment from the Second Boer War (1899-1902) in this work. The painting depicts a group of British soldiers conducting a search in the aftermath of a battle, highlighting the grim realities of war and the human cost involved.

Wollen's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion through his subjects are evident in "The Search." The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the weary expressions of the soldiers to the desolate landscape that surrounds them. The use of light and shadow enhances the somber mood, emphasizing the gravity of the scene.

The Second Boer War, fought between the British Empire and the two Boer states—the South African Republic and the Orange Free State—was a significant conflict that had a lasting impact on both the British and South African societies. Wollen's painting serves as a historical document, providing insight into the experiences of those who lived through the war. It reflects the broader themes of loss, duty, and the harsh realities of military life.

"The Search" is housed in the National Army Museum in London, where it continues to be an important piece within their collection. The painting not only showcases Wollen's skill as an artist but also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Second Boer War. Through his work, Wollen has left a lasting legacy that continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a window into a pivotal moment in history.
