Gesprek tussen August Christoph von Wackerbarth en Magnus Stenbock 1737

This 1737 engraving depicts the conversation between August Christoph von Wackerbarth, a Saxon military leader, and Magnus Stenbock, a Swedish general. It is an anonymous work held in the Rijksmuseum and likely portrays a meeting between the two military figures during the Great Northern War. The image is likely a satirical commentary on the war, as the generals are depicted in a playful, even humorous manner, perhaps underscoring the political tensions of the time. The graphic detail of the engraving is visible in the figures' attire and the surrounding landscape, highlighting the skill of the anonymous artist.
