Weislingen Attacked by the Forces of Goetz (Weislingen attaqué par les gens de Goetz) is a 1836 ink by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic battle scene with horses and riders in mid-motion. The lines are loose and sketchy, giving everything a sense of speed and struggle. Some riders look like they’re falling, while others charge forward with weapons raised. The artist used quick, dark lines to show movement—almost like scribbling with a pencil. This style makes the scene feel urgent and dramatic. Want to see more? Look up lithography to learn how this print was made.
