Mezzotint of a dejected hussar seated by a dead horse near a gun carriage, with a woman in a headscarf behind him under a cloudy sky.

A defeated hussar on the battlefield, whose horse has been killed while pulling a gun mounted on a chassis; a woman sympathizes. Mezzotint by V. Green after G. Carter, 1776.

A mezzotint shows a seated hussar in a braided, fur-trimmed uniform and tall shako, head bowed in dejection beside his fallen horse. A woman in a light headscarf leans over the gun carriage behind him, while a dark cloudy sky and distant landscape fill the background.

Español: Húsar derrotado en el campo de batalla con una mujer compasiva

Un mezzotinta muestra a un húsar sentado, con uniforme galonado y adornado con piel y un alto morrión, la cabeza inclinada con abatimiento junto a su caballo caído. Una mujer con un pañuelo claro se inclina sobre el armón detrás de él, bajo un cielo nublado oscuro.

Uma meia-tinta mostra um hussardo sentado, com uniforme debruado e adornado de pele e um alto chapéu de pala, a cabeça baixa em abatimento ao lado de seu cavalo caído. Uma mulher de lenço claro inclina-se sobre a carreta do canhão atrás dele, sob um céu nublado escuro.
