One of the Infantry Combats is a 1616 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a chaotic scene of men on horseback, some with swords raised, in the middle of a circular arena. The crowd is dense, with people standing and watching from the sides. The image is in black and white, with lots of detail in the figures and the setting. In the foreground, there are people on the ground, possibly fighting or fallen. The background shows buildings, giving a sense of the event happening in a town or city. The overall mood is one of energy and conflict. If you're interested in more art like this, you might want to look into the Baroque movement.
