"The Battle of Moodkee" is a historical painting by the Irish artist Michael Angelo Hayes (1820–1877), depicting the engagement between British troops and Sikh forces during the First Anglo-Sikh War. The battle took place on December 18, 1845, near the village of Mudki (Moodkee) in Punjab, India. Hayes, known for his military scenes and equestrian portraits, created this work to capture the intensity and chaos of the battlefield, reflecting the valor and struggle of the soldiers involved in the conflict.

The painting is significant for its historical context, as the First Anglo-Sikh War marked a crucial period of British imperial expansion in the Indian subcontinent. Hayes's attention to detail in the uniforms, weaponry, and the landscape provides a visual account of the period and offers insights into the military history of the era. The artwork serves as a visual document of the British and Sikh military attire and tactics, and it is an example of mid-19th-century battle art, a genre that aimed to glorify military engagements and the heroism of the troops.

While the exact dimensions and current location of "The Battle of Moodkee" are not specified in this introduction, the painting is an important piece within Hayes's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the representation of colonial military history in art.
