This work of art is a classic example of the equestrian portrait genre, a popular form of military portraiture that flourished in Europe during the 17th to 19th centuries, designed to glorify and commemorate the achievements of military figures.

The painting is set against the backdrop of a battlefield, with the Duke prominently displayed on horseback, suggesting his leadership and bravery. The inclusion of British Hussars, light cavalrymen known for their distinctive uniforms and daring tactics, adds to the martial atmosphere of the piece and emphasizes the collective effort of the British forces under Wellington's command.
The composition of the painting, the attention to detail in the uniforms and equipment, and the portrayal of the horses all reflect Delerive's understanding of military subjects. The artwork serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of military dignity and the valor of its subjects.
