'The Battle of Montmirail', 11 February, 1814, (1822). One of Napoleon's (1769-1821) last successes in France, when he defeated the Russian General Sacken and the arriving Prussians were quickly forced to retreat from Marshal Mortier's fast-marching reinforcements. The Allies lost some 4,000 men, while Bonaparte suffered 2,000 casualties. Part of the collection at The National Gallery, London.
