This 1807 engraving by Jean Joseph François Tassaert depicts General Guillaume-Marie-Anne Brune on horseback. The print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the general in a heroic pose, holding a sword aloft, with a dramatic background suggestive of battle. The use of a detailed and realistic style, common in portraiture of the time, emphasizes Brune's military authority. This artwork, measuring 584 mm in height and 425 mm in width, is an example of French printmaking during the Napoleonic era.
