# The Battle before Peterwaradyn, 1716, by Adolf van der Laan

An etching and engraving of the fighting before Petrovaradin on 5 August 1716, made in the Netherlands in the year of the battle. In the foreground imperial officers and cavalry ride into a melee around a village church, with the dead and a fallen horse across the ground and a robed Ottoman figure at the right edge. Behind them both armies stand in long lines across the plain, the Ottoman tents and covered wagons beyond, and a range of hills closes the horizon. Adolf van der Laan signed the plate as both its designer and its engraver.
