Artist, French, 1789 - 1863

The image depicts a landscape from an elevated viewpoint showing immediate elements and distant scenery. Trees and a castle-like structure with a tower are on the right side. A group of soldiers maneuver a cannon in the scene. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black and white. In the distance, a bridge spans a waterway. The etching merges man-made structures and figures with nature.
