Troops of the Ottoman empire and a battery of cannon, their tented positions each designated with a crescent, lay siege to the city of Vienna, lying beyond.
An equestrian engagement between the helmeted and uniformed troops of the Holy Roman empire and those of the Ottoman empire, who are put to flight.
Wood, 57 mm. (2.3 inches).
Extremely fine and attractive, with a fine, dark patina.
