Painted in 1813, during the anti-Napoleonic War of Liberation on the territory of present-day Poland and Germany, this watercolor shows a bivouac of Russian Cossacks (in addition to several Cossacks, we also see a figure of a Polish Jew, local resident).

It is a typical work of well-known Bavarian artist Johann Adam Klein (see comparison images nr.5-8) .

Johann Adam Klein (1792 Nuremberg - 1875 Munich) was a German painter and engraver. Born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1792, Klein received lessons in drawing from Georg Christoph von Bemmel. In 1805 he was apprenticed to the studio of Ambroise Gabler and afterward studied at the Art Academy in Vienna from 1811 until 1818. His study was interrupted in 1815 for a study tour to Main, Rhine and Hungary.
In 1819 he received a grant by Prince Louis of Bavaria to visit Italy. He remained in that country until 1821 and then returned to Germany. He painted a number of battle scenes which made him celebrated throughout Germany. Klein excelled as a painter of horses and portraits. He was also an engraver of great ability and he reproduced many of his own works and also the pictures of other artists. He died in Munich in 1875.
