The Batte of the Alma - painted by Horace Vernet, 1856. Crimean War scene: '...a Zouave and a Highlander, both wounded, and trudging away from the fight, evidently savage that they are disabled. The Zouave wildly waving a [sword,] trophy of his prowess...Nearly all the central figures are portraits. The battle is seen from afar; although the ball whizzing past within a few paces of the Prince [an admirable likeness] is meant to indicate that the assembled officers are actually under fire....Then there are General Thomas, wounded, and sustained by his Aide-de-Camp; Colonel Desuarets, first Aide-de-Camp to the Prince; the Duke d'Abrantes...The poor fellow bathing his horse's leg is one of the choicer specimens of Vernet's skill...In the central distance...is a group of wounded Russians, most happily introduced; and, in the low ground, the river Alma is seen winding along'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
