‘Napoleon at the Borodino Heights’ by VV Vereshchagin, 1897.

“On the crucial day of the Battle of Borodino on 7 September 1812 the headquarters of Napoleon was situated on the hill to the right of and slightly in front of the Shevardino Redoubt that was captured on 5 September. Napoleon sat on a chair or paced in front of his entourage. Behind the entourage stand the Imperial Guards in their famous bearskin shakos. The battlefield, almost a kilometre away, is clouded with smoke.”
