騎兵体歩兵体大調練之図|Illustration of Cavalry, Infantry and Soldiers Retreating (Kiheitai, hoheitai, daichōren no zu) is an 8 ink by Yoshitoshi, a Impressionism work, depicting Battl, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This triptych woodblock print depicts a battle scene with soldiers and horses. The left panel shows a cavalry charge, while the center panel features a large cloud of smoke and a group of soldiers in red uniforms. The right panel shows a group of soldiers in blue uniforms, with a horse and carriage in the background. The print is rendered in a realistic style, with detailed depictions of the soldiers and horses. The use of color is muted, with a focus on earth tones and grays. The overall effect is one of chaos and confusion, with the soldiers and horses in disarray. The print is a good example of the work of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, a Japanese artist known for his realistic and detailed depictions of everyday life.
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese: 月岡芳年; also named Taiso Yoshitoshi 大蘇芳年; 30 April 1839 – 9 June 1892) was a Japanese printmaker.
