Veldslag met soldaten in harnas 1872

"Veldslag met soldaten in harnas" (Battle with Soldiers in Armor) is a pencil drawing created in 1872 by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923). The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a chaotic battle scene with soldiers on horseback and on foot clashing in a flurry of swords and shields. The dynamic composition and expressive lines capture the intensity of the fight, making this artwork a compelling example of Breitner's early skill in capturing movement and drama.
