This print shows two soldiers crouched in a field, hidden behind rocks and grass. Their uniforms are dark, and they carry rifles. The background has rolling hills dotted with trees, drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The soldiers look tense, ready for action. The artist signed it in the corner with the title *Alpins en ambuscade*, which means "Alpine troops in ambush." Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
