This detailed pen drawing by Italian artist Giovanni Guerra, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, depicts a scene of military conflict. The artwork, likely a study for a larger composition, showcases a dynamic portrayal of soldiers engaged in combat, featuring horses, swords, and shields. The fragmented narrative, suggested by the title, hints at a larger historical context, possibly referencing Roman military campaigns or epic battles. This drawing, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Guerra's mastery of line work and his ability to depict complex scenes with remarkable detail.
