Description: An extensive landscape, mostly cleared of bush, with several soldiers and a gun carriage on the right. The gun has just been fired. The spire of a church is just visible on the crest of a hill to the left. A library user has suggested an attribution to Charles Eastwood for this work, on stylistic grounds. However, it is also in the style of many of Von Tempsky's drawings and there is an almost identical view, apart from the arrangement of the figures, with von Tempksy's signature.
