Study for The Battle of Waterloo
Jan Willem Pieneman, c. 1824
Pieneman’s studies depict individual combats more clearly than his large painting. Amid the chaos in the centre of this drawing one man is being despatched by a pistol shot, while another succumbs to a deadly sabre thrust. At the lower left a horse without a rider gallops into the scene, which represents an attack by German mercenaries in Wellington’s army.
