LEUTHEN 1757: THE TWILIGHT OF THE BATTLE

The battle of Leuthen is over... the Darkness of the alte winter afternoon is covering the cries of the wounded soldiers, laying on the field, and the tiredness of the poor men is grasping their souls. 

The Austrians are gathering around theirs colours (in this case the Harrach Regiment) while in front of them there is a Captain of the Zieten Hussars and on the background some Cuirassiers of the Sedlytz Regiment.

On the back of the house a coloumn of Zieten hussars is going to the bridge of Lissa where Friedrich II is waiting for.

The Captain of the Prussian Zieten Hussars (please note his red trousers) is facing some Hussars of the Austrian Eszterhazy Regiment; this scene is quite visible here (bottom). The sadness on the face of the Austrian Hussars is quite evident.

 Here we see a very sad moment (well actually I support the Austrians, due to "familiy reasons"): the Standard Bearer of the Harrach Regiment, with the Leibfahne, is going to deliver the Colours of the Regiment to the Officers of the Zieten Regiment.
