Battle of Oudenarde

An appealing image from the MOU Museum site.

  1. A lot of interesting details, such as the drummers and musicians in reversed coats.

  2. Interesting that there appears to be some Turks to the right of the general on the white horse.

  3. Yes, rather a tantalizing image. With no horizon, leaving the infantry marching off to nowhere, it has the look of a detail from a much larger picture encompassing more of the battlefield.

    The figures to the right of the general may be Hussars in the Croat style, hard to tell.
