One of the interesting things about the indecisive battles of the 1670s is they often seem to generate celebratory pictures from both sides. Senef or Seneffe is a good example of this. Of course how much these pictures represent the real topography and dispositions or were simply generic is difficult to ascertain unless you know the area and the battles itself. See my other blog postings with other images of Seneffe here
The times of decisive battles, despite their popularity amongst wargames, were already gone by 1600.
