Abstract:
"A French hussar on a sorry horse flees before a well-mounted Mameluke (cf. BMSat 9272), with a sabre in each hand, who rides him down. The Frenchman (left) turns in his saddle to hold out defensively a sabre whose blade is inscribed 'Vaincre ou Courir'; he spurs his horse viciously. His enemy rides in heel-less slippers, one rein in his teeth, the other on the horse's neck, two pistols on cords fly out behind him. The expressions of the horses reflect those of their masters: abject terror and fierce confidence."--British Museum online catalogue
