"Harold's Last Stand" is a historical illustration by Richard Caton Woodville, an English artist known for his depictions of military scenes. The artwork portrays the final moments of King Harold II of England during the Battle of Hastings, which took place on October 14, 1066. This battle was a decisive conflict in the Norman Conquest of England, where William, the Duke of Normandy, emerged victorious, leading to profound changes in English culture, language, and governance.

The illustration was included in "British Battles on Land and Sea," a comprehensive work edited by Sir Evelyn Wood, a distinguished British Army officer and military historian. First published in 1915, the book aimed to provide an extensive account of significant battles involving British forces throughout history. Woodville's illustration captures the intensity and desperation of the English forces as they defend their kingdom against the invading Normans. The image of King Harold, often depicted with an arrow in his eye based on historical accounts, has become an iconic representation of the battle and the end of Anglo-Saxon rule in England.

Richard Caton Woodville's artistic style, characterized by attention to detail and historical accuracy, brings to life the pivotal moment of Harold's last stand. His work not only serves as a visual record of this turning point in British history but also reflects the interest in military heritage and the valorization of national history prevalent in the early 20th century. The illustration remains a significant piece of historical art, contributing to the visual culture surrounding the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest.
