Years after the wars that made him famous, a small grey Arab charger stands alert and riderless. Marengo carried Napoleon through several campaigns and was small enough — barely over fourteen hands — that his survival past Waterloo, and his capture into England, made him as much a legend as any general Ward could have painted instead. Faint scars mark the flank — Ward doesn't hide the wear a campaign horse actually carries. Some horses outlive the empires that rode them.
