image: A Napoleonic battle scene; Russian campaign. From right to left of composition, an advance of French Voltigeurs in
dark blue coats and gaiters, white waistcoats and breeches and brandishing fixed bayonets. The central figure is stationary, loading his
musket, a ramrod held in raised right hand. His shako bears the regimental number 3. In the foreground the debris of battle; from left to
right a broken artillery piece, a ram and in the bottom right a discarded Russian grenadier cap. In the background a tattered French
regimental standard topped with the Imperial eagle rises above the advancing bayonets. Title below composition in hand drawn roman
capitals. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Action FR.A Uniforms | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Devambez, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
