Battle of Stresow 1715

The Battle of Stresow, 1715 from the Great Northern War. A battle that took place during the dark hours between the Swedish army of Carolus Rex and the coalition forces of Saxony, Prussia and Denmark-Norway. This scene I based on one of the outer corners of the battle where the Swedish forces were attacking the coalition camp. Carolus Rex ( Charles XII) was himself wounded in the battle, - I have thus depicted him also being helped away from the fight.
