About this work

A large eagle with a gold chain and medal perches on the chest of a fallen soldier in a white uniform, his head bloodied and a dagger in his hand. Smoke and fire rise over a city on the left, while mounted riders cross a plain under a stormy sky toward snow-capped mountains. This print, titled Polish Prometheus, was made by Horace Vernet in 1831.
