It depicts a serene yet strategic view of the Fluvia River valley near Castellfollit, Spain, with French troops in the foreground during the Napoleonic Wars. Soldiers and local figures appear in conversation near a campfire, with a bridge and the rugged Catalonian landscape framing the composition. This piece is part of a series of lithographs illustrating the Spanish campaign during the Peninsular War, created in the early to mid-19th century. Engelmann’s precision and use of color enhance the scene's depth, combining military narrative with picturesque landscapes.
