After the battle is a 1675 oil by Adam Frans van der Meulen, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a chaotic scene after a battle. In the foreground, a white horse stands out, with a man in a blue uniform riding it and pointing towards the right. He's surrounded by other men on horseback, all dressed in 17th-century military attire. The background is filled with more soldiers, some lying on the ground, while others are still on their horses. The painting is rich in detail, with a focus on the drama of the scene. The colors are muted, with earthy tones dominating the palette. The overall mood is one of tension and uncertainty.
