After the mural of c.1713-14 in the main central hall at Blenheim Palace by Louis Laguerre.

This mural was part of a series commissioned by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough to commemorate his famous victories at Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet, during the Spanish Wars of Succession (1701-14) when Britain and the Allies fought against France. Depicting the Battle of Blenheim, the present composition shows Marshall Tallard, the leader of the French army, escorted by William Cadogan, 1st Earl Cadogan (1675-1726), in the act of surrender to Marlborough (in the red coat on a white horse). The town in the background is Hooghstet.
