Reitergefecht is a 1671 unspecified by Adam Frans van der Meulen, held at Kunsthistorisches Museum.
This painting depicts a chaotic scene of men on horseback, some of whom are engaged in a fierce battle. The horses are rearing up, and the men are wielding swords and spears. In the background, there is a building with a green roof and a tree to the left. The scene is set in a rural area, with rolling hills and trees in the distance. The colors used in the painting are muted, with shades of brown, green, and blue dominating the palette. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension in the scene.
