Pichegru steekt de bevroren Waal over, 1795 1795

This anonymous engraving from 1795 depicts the historical event of French General Pichegru's crossing of the frozen Waal river. The scene shows a vast army, with Pichegru and his staff standing in the foreground, leading the charge across the frozen river towards the Dutch Republic. The etching's emphasis on detail and perspective, along with its historical context, makes this piece a valuable representation of military life during the French Revolutionary Wars. The artist captures the scale and movement of the event in a clear and engaging manner.
