oil, cardboard, size 34 x 49 cm, signed l. d. "Jerzy Kossak"
Dynamic and vigorously painted against a winter landscape scene of a horseman of the 3rd Uhlan Regiment in pursuit of escaping cavalrymen. The accompanying infantry with rifles attack the horsemen from behind the trees, one of whom is already knocked down along with his horse, while the other is still defending himself by firing small arms. Typical of the artist's work is a war theme from the Napoleonic campaign. The author is focused on the silhouette of the horse and lancer in the attack, for which the unfolding event is a background only and a pretext for this dramatic composition.On the reverse side, a red oval seal of Jerzy Kossak with the central coat of arms "Kos" and a seal - facsimile signature confirming the originality of the work.
