Zur Geschichte Erzherzog Karls von Österreich-Teschen_ Ungarn und Tirol vereinigen sich gegen die Franzosen 1806 1847

This drawing by Moritz von Schwind, dated 1847, is a preparatory sketch for a larger work. It depicts a crowned figure on horseback, likely Archduke Charles of Austria-Teschen, with an inscription that reads, "Hungary and Tyrol unite against the French 1806," The drawing is part of a series of sketches illustrating a narrative related to Archduke Charles's military career, specifically during the Napoleonic Wars. The sketch showcases Schwind's delicate line work and his interest in historical themes, contributing to the artist's recognition as a leading figure in the Romantic movement in German art. The work is currently on display at the Städel Museum.
