Combats and Triumphs No. 3

Etienne Delaune

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a chaotic scene. The scene is crowded with multiple human figures, some naked and others dressed in long robes. Some figures have wings. The figures are surrounded by various objects, including what appears to be a cannon, a large shield, swords, spears, a flag, a feathered plume, and other types of armor. The objects and figures are densely packed and overlapping. The scene does not appear to depict a realistic or easily discernible setting. The drawing style is detailed and ornate, with many lines and shading used to create texture and depth. The overall composition is long and horizontal.
