Study for The Battle of Waterloo
Unfolding behind the foremost figures in The Battle of Waterloo are the horrors of the conflict. Pieneman worked up these scenes in great detail. Dead soldiers and horses are strewn over the battlefield. So many horses died at Waterloo that there was a serious shortage after the war. This scene appears on the left of the painting. The blank space is the captured flag held by an officer.
