Enfin, d'un coup mortel, il lui perce le flanc... 1825

"Enfin, d'un coup mortel, il lui perce le flanc..." (Finally, with a mortal blow, he pierces his flank) is a lithograph created in 1825 by French artist Horace Vernet, known for his depictions of historical battles and military scenes. This print captures a moment of intense action, likely from a historical event, with a focus on the dramatic clash of swords between two figures in the foreground. Surrounding them, onlookers and soldiers add depth to the scene, suggesting a battlefield setting, drawing viewers into the suspense of the confrontation. The work is held in The Art Institute of Chicago.
