Description (auto translated): Battle of Ramillies on May 23, 1706, between the allied forces under Marlborough and commado Nassau-Ouwerkerk against the united French, Spanish and Bavarian troops under the command of Marshal Villeroy. Left some tall trees, right on the third plan the ridge, which Folx-les-Caves and Jandreouille and are in the offing in the middle of the plateau of Mont St. Andre. In the foreground a rider fight, which took place on the left flank of the Allied army against the right of Villeroy. Right in the corner with a staff presumably portrait of Marlborough on a black horse. The rider on the back of view, perhaps Major General Murray. He who look more like a citizen, might be Sicco Goslinga, the the allied army added deputy of the States General. Left of center, right behind the huge rider fight, run and allied cavalry charge against the infantry of the two crowns, which await them felled peaks. Further back is the main force of the Allies, under the command of Lord Orteney, the center of the French-Spanish-Bavarian lines, including Villeroy and Elector Maximilian Emanuel of Beiren, in which at Ramillies and further north, at Offus and Autreglise (Other church) were set up. 1706 - 1710 medium: H 116 cm x W 153 cm
