Combat for the Colors is a 1874 unspecified by Édouard Detaille, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a chaotic scene of two horsemen in the midst of a fierce battle. The men are dressed in military uniforms, with one wearing a red hat and the other a white coat. They are engaged in a intense struggle, with their horses rearing up and their swords clashing. In the background, other soldiers can be seen fighting on horseback, adding to the sense of chaos and confusion. The painting's use of muted colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of energy and movement, drawing the viewer into the midst of the battle. The painting's focus on the intense action and emotion of the scene is reminiscent of the work of Édouard Detaille.
