Marie von Eggenberg of Kaiserthum Oesterreich

This is perhaps my first entry for Drawings based on the Napoleonic Era of Warfare, since most of my works concerned during the Medieval period. Nevertheless, I find it pretty interesting of creating this art, since my attention shifted from drawing intricate armor to highly decorated uniforms and the background settings. In this drawing, Princess Maria Luise is said to have been a daring and bold character/commander, a contrast to the more cautious Archduke Charles of Austria. The scene itself would probably highly inaccurate and fantasized, since most commanders at that time did not charge head on, that too while on foot, and units of different regiments (Grenadiers and Rifleman) very rarely fought in mix and highly disorganized manner. Nevertheless, I have to thank Pely for her patience as well as enormous support in providing the materials which have helped me in creating this drawing. Though, perhaps it may be a little bit different than what she expected it to be, I hope you will like it

For some reason, I'm not quite sure why I decided to include a poorly drawn Mother Mary Statue (Maryam PBUH), maybe it's somehow related to the name of the main character depicted? Or perhaps, something else
