General Nansouty's Carabiniers at the Battle of Jena by Alexandr Yezhov

Battle of Hanau by Horace Vernet (1824). “The Battle of Hanau (30-31 October 1813), took place between Austro-Bavarian forces and French forces. This scene illustrates the attack of the Austro-Bavarian cavalry charging the French Grand Battery. Commanding the French Grand Battery is General Antoine Drouot (depicted on the right side of the painting, with an Austrian cavalryman meaning to strike him down). It also illustrates the French Guard cavalry countercharging the enemy cavalry, with its commander, General Nansouty (illustrated on the left-centre of the painting, with his back to the viewer) directing the operation.” Source

In the Memoirs of François d’Orléans (Prince de Joinville, youngest son of Louis-Philippe), this painting was in their chateau. It was commissioned by Louis-Philippe before he was King, he was duc d’Orléans at the time. Little Joinville was very impressed by General Drouot, who was a visitor to their house; and he wanted to join the artillery because of this painting. (He went into the navy.) This memoir is in English on gutenberg.org

The mystique of Nansouty. One of the “hair” generals. Seems very likable and admirable. I don’t yet know much about him. He died while Napoleon was on Elba.
