The painting illustrates a caisson and limber drawn by a team of four horses struggling to top a muddy hill. The crew is dismounted and helps push from the caisson. A single rider mounted on the left wheel team horse drives the four horse team forward using a riding crop. This is not a typical method. Normally there would be riders on each of the left side horses. The painting is displayed along side a 10,5cm lFH 98 Limber much like that illustrated in the painting.  If you have additional information about the painting or the artist please contact me at:  LOVETT155@HOTMAIL.COM
