The composition offers a general view of the battlefield, allowing us to witness firsthand the military tactics employed during this conflict. Prussian infantry soldiers can be seen strategically positioned amidst fascines, while smoke billows from artillery fire in the distance. The meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life, immersing viewers into this historical event. The print also provides glimpses of key locations involved in the war, such as Fredericia, Atzebull, Sonderburg, and Duppel Redoubts.
