To the Unknown British Soldier in France

''To the Unknown British Soldier in France'' is an oil-on-canvas painting by Irish artist William Orpen, exhibited in one state in 1923 and then modified in 1927. It was one of three paintings commissioned from Orpen to commemorate the Peace Conference at Versailles in 1919. The work is held by the Imperial War Museum in London.
==Background==
Orpen was one of the first people chosen as a war artist by the British Ministry of Information in 1917. Orpen was also official painter at the Versailles peace conference, and was commissioned to paint three canvases to record the roles of the politicians, diplomats and military at the conference, for a fee of £6,000. The other two works, ''A Peace Conference at the Quai d'Orsay'' and ''The Signing of Peace in the Hall of Mirrors, Versailles, 28th June 1919'', are both group portraits depicting the participants at the conference.
Orpen was deeply affected by the suffering he witnessed in France during the war, and grew to dislike the politicians at the conference. ''To the Unknown British Soldier in France'' was originally intended to include a group of soldiers and statesmen in the Hall of Peace at the Palace of Versailles, including Admirals Beatty and Sturdee; Field Marshals Allenby, French, Haig and Plumer; Generals Cowans, Currie and Rawlinson; Lieutenant Arthur Rhys-Davids; David Lloyd George; Georges Clemenceau, and Marshals Pétain and Foch. Orpen had completed perhaps 30 portraits before he changed his mind and painted out the faces. Over time, the faces have now become faintly visible again under the surface of the modified work.
