Abstract:

"The Archduke Charles of Austria, directing military operations, stands on a bluff in profile to the left, right arm extended, his left hand rests on his sword. He wears laced coat and waistcoat, with a star, and spurred jack-boots. He has a long pigtail queue; in his enormous cocked hat, one point of which hangs before his face, the other over his shoulders, is an olive-branch. In the background clouds of smoke rise from an invisible battle."--British Museum online catalogue.
