"Kozakken in een hinderlaag" (Cossacks in an Ambush) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Louis Moritz (1773-1850) depicting a group of Cossacks in military attire with horses in a forest setting. It is a depiction of a military event, possibly the Napoleonic Wars, with Cossacks, known for their military skills, engaging in a strategic ambush. The drawing, located in the Rijksmuseum, captures the tense and dynamic moment, emphasizing the details of the Cossacks' clothing and weapons and the surrounding landscape.
