A drawing of several armed figures in various fallen poses; a standing figure on the left appears to be contemplating this macabre scene; a cityscape, behind clouds of smoke, looms in the background. Inscribed at the bottom: Gestalten der Erfrohrenen Schweden vor Koppenhagen, 1659, II. Febr. Sub. Car. Gust. Cf. Francisci Luffrkreis. p. 896. On 11th February 1659, Copenhagen was attacked by the Swedish army under Charles Gustavus, and in the following spring many of the attackers were found frozen in the positions in which death had overwhelmed them.

The inscription refers to Der Wunderreiche Uberzug unserer Nider-Welt oder Erdumgebende Lufft-Kreys, Nuremberg, 1680, by Erasmus Franciscus, a pseudo-scientific historical writer. RCIN 912167 corresponds exactly, in reverse, to an unsigned engraving in the book.

Emanuel von Baeyer suggests the drawing may be by Matthias Scheidts.
