A Field after a Battle is an oil by Unknown, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting shows a chaotic scene after a battle. Soldiers and horses are scattered across the ground, with some people tending to the wounded. In the background, a hill rises with a castle or fortification on top. A closer look reveals the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in the figures and objects.
