The topic chosen by Bayard illustrates a passage from De Vaulabelle's Histoire des deux Restaurations-" The fury which animated Blucher's troops as well as our own survived after the battle of the 18th. The next day and the day after, the wounded of both nations, carried off to the villages or farms adjacent to the battle-field, went on fighting upon the beds or the straw where they were lying." We see accordingly a sickening and ineffectual skirmish in a barn, where all the combatants are maimed men. A Scotch soldier in the foreground, to the left, raises his head from the wheel-barrow which has been his bolster, to watch a triangular duel between three wounded French and Germans, who are picking each other to pieces in the middle. Through the open door the work of harvesting the lacerated victims is seen, and bodies are being carried through it into the barn for treatment, or out of it for burial.
