Two effeminate, aesthetes dressed in rather dandyish clothes, as depicted by George Ranstead, an amateur artist of the Great War who served in the Army Pay Corps. Ranstead was one of many soldiers of WWI who took up drawing as a hobby. His subjects range from wartime humour to pictures of pretty girls and are clearly influenced by images in the illustrated magazines of the period. There is no caption to accompany this picture but it may be a jibe at men who did not join up. circa 1916
