This painting shows a chaotic scene of a wagon train under attack. Soldiers on horseback and foot clash near the wagons, while others stand on a hilltop watching. The landscape is rugged, with rolling hills, trees, and a cloudy sky. The artist used loose, sketchy brushstrokes to show movement and urgency. The colors are muted, but the action is clear. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
