In this military scene, a group of soldiers of the French army take cover behind a whitewashed wall. They point their rifles towards the battlefield, taking shelter in the courtyard of an abandoned house. Through the splintered timbers of the windows, several rifles are also sticking out, and the smoke rises into the overcast sky. More on this painting
