"Jeu des Cosagnes / Kozakken-spel", an 1814 - 1817 engraving by François Joseph Weygand, depicts a board game designed for two players. The circular board is comprised of 65 spaces, each illustrating a scene from the Napoleonic Wars. The game was likely a popular form of entertainment and a reflection of the cultural impact of the war. Weygand's detailed engraving captures the excitement and drama of this historical conflict, showcasing the strategies and challenges faced by soldiers on both sides. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
