The Battle is a 1642 ink by Gerrit van Schagen, a Baroque work, depicting Battle, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a battle scene with horses and soldiers. It's an old etching, made using a technique where the artist scratches a design onto a metal plate. This was a common way to make prints back then. The artist likely spent a lot of time getting the details just right.
