Executed in the style of Anselm Feuerbach, the viewer is transported to a battlefield engulfed in chaos, dust, and destruction. The focal point of the painting are two remarkable Bedouin sisters as they stand defiantly in a vast open field.

The composition is dynamically balanced, with the sisters positioned at the forefront, their bodies twisted in mid-action as they skillfully draw back their bows, ready to release a volley of deadly arrows towards the enemy. Their expressions, a mix of determination and fierce resolve, further emphasize their status as warriors reaping havoc upon their foes.

Feuerbach's brushwork adds depth and texture to the scene, capturing the turmoil of war and the swirling dust that envelops the battlefield. Shades of earthy tones dominate the landscape, reflecting both the arid terrain and the somber atmosphere. 

Despite the turmoil, there is an undeniable beauty conveyed through the representation of these warrior women. Their elegant, garments pay homage to their heritage and evoke a sense of both tradition and pride.

Anselm Feuerbach,  (born September 12, 1829 - died January 4, 1880, Venice, Italy), one of the leading German painters of the mid-19th century working in a Romantic style of Classicism.

Feuerbach was the son of a classical archaeologist and the nephew of the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach. After studying art at the Düsseldorf Academy and in Munich, he went twice to Paris, where he worked in the studio of Thomas Couture and was influenced by Gustave Courbet and Eugène Delacroix.

Feuerbach lived in Italy from 1855 to 1873, and much of his best work was produced during this period. He was influenced by antique Greek and Roman art and Italian High Renaissance painting, and he developed an interest in idealized figure compositions of a lyrical, elegiac nature. 

In 1873 Feuerbach became a professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and painted for the academy building Fall of the Titans, generally regarded as his weakest work. Ill and discouraged by the harsh criticism of this work, Feuerbach left Vienna in 1876 and returned to Italy, where he died. More on Anselm Feuerbach
