Combat of Oued-alleg, 31 December 1839

Auguste Raffet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a battle scene. Soldiers on horseback and on foot are shown. Most soldiers wear dark clothing and hats and carry rifles. The soldiers are on a hillside, with some on the ground. The ground is covered in grass and some bushes. There are mountains in the background under a cloudy sky. The scene depicts a large group of soldiers in formation, with some charging or fallen. The image appears to be an old illustration, with a caption at the bottom. The caption is in French and appears to describe the scene. The overall mood is one of chaos and intensity.
