A historical battle painting depicting the engagement at the Suffelbach near Strasbourg on June 28, 1815, during the final days of the Napoleonic Wars. The scene shows the Grand Duchy of Hesse troops in action as they advance against French positions at Lampertheim and Mundolsheim in the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo and the Allied invasion of France.
The composition illustrates the intensity of the fighting, with infantry formations maneuvering across open terrain, officers directing troop movements, and skirmishers engaging in close combat amid the fields and villages north of Strasbourg. The painting captures the atmosphere of urgency and collapse during the closing phase of the 1815 campaign, as Allied forces pressed into French territory.
