This etching by Nicolaas Verkolje, created between 1706 and 1746, depicts the Battle of Kalisz, a significant battle in the Great Northern War. The artwork is a vignette, a small design or illustration, focused on the battle's intensity and chaos. It's a powerful visual representation of the war, highlighting the cavalry charge and the fallen soldiers on the battlefield. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this etching is a testament to the artistic talent of Verkolje, who specialized in engravings and portraiture.
