This etching, plate sixteen of the series, depicts a scene of devastation during wartime. The soldiers, weakened by their injuries, lay dying in the foreground while villagers, including a priest, attempt to help them. The background provides a glimpse into a village, suggesting the wider impact of the conflict on the surrounding community. This image serves as a potent visual reminder of the brutality and suffering associated with warfare, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
