DescriptionDead and wounded men in American and Mexican military uniforms lie and sit on the ground in the foreground. Most have beards or mustaches. One man leans against a fallen horse. A soldier at the far right holds the bridle reins of two riderless horses. In the background, ranks of American soldiers advance towards the left. Some hold rifles or muskets with fixed bayonets. Three officers on horseback are in the right background with additional cavalry troops behind them. An artillery crew and their cannon are in the left background. A pile of cannonballs is nearby. The Mexican lines are beyond, partially hidden by cannon smoke.
