Death of a Russian General (Le Mort d'un general russe)

Characterized by rapid, expressive etching lines, the work captures dynamic movement and urgency, with a rough, sketchy background of stormy skies and trees.

Created in 1814 by Gerhardus Emaus de Micault, specific historical context or ownership history beyond the artist and date of creation is not provided.

The etching reflects the artistic response to the Napoleonic Wars, common during this period, where artists often depicted the turmoil and consequences of conflict.

While not widely recognized as a seminal work, it exemplifies the use of etching to convey the immediacy of war scenes in early 19th-century art.
