COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
This painting belongs to the unspecified battle scenes. Curiously, most of the battle scenes have no references to time or place. The painters visualised current events in a general way. As their clients, from nobility and the higher middle classes, belonged to the cavalry (which made out a quarter of the army) they mostly painted cavalry battles, much less engagements between cavalry and infantry.
The painting is signed and dated bottom right "P.MEVLENER. 1650".
