This 19th-century print by Niels Truslew depicts a scene from the 1808 war between Norway and Sweden. It shows a bivouac of Norwegian troops, camping under a fire in the forest, while in the distance a church can be seen. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, typical of military prints of the time. The image is titled "De norske troppers bivouacquering under Prins Christian Augusts anförsel i seeneste krig med Sverrig, 1808" (The Norwegian troops bivouacking under Prince Christian August's command in the last war with Sweden, 1808). The print, part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a valuable historical document and a reminder of the events of a bygone era.
