Louis Émile Benassit (1833–1902), The Retreat, c. 1875, oil on canvas, 27.1 x 41 cm, National Museum Wales. This scene of French dragoons and infantrymen in the snow was probably inspired by an event from the Franco-Prussian War, possibly the retreat of General Bourbaki's army to internment in Switzerland in January 1871.
