This image was created by Christopher Nevinson in 1915, titled Machine-Gun. I thought it was relevant to WWI because it shows how the machine gun was operated. They were operated by multiple soldiers in order to keep it from jamming, getting dirty, overheating, and they needed someone to reload it. In the painting it also shows a little bit of what a trench would look like.
