Thanks Yacks I've been looking for more of these
my current wallpaper is too big to be posted
So I'll just describe it
It's a picture of Charles XII of Sweden being carried back over the mountains toward home after his death
It has lots of snow and many men in dark blue clothing many of which have muskets and bayonets
Almost all of them have Black Tricorn hats
upon close examination one can see the bullet hole in the head of Charles
the dimensions are 11077 x 7875 and the file size is 19.5 MB
It was painted by Gustaf Cederström, and here is a link to a smaller resolution image of it

This smaller image isn't nearly as cool as the one I have
you can't even see Carolus' Killing wound in the small version
the second Schleswig war was kind of fucked because both sides had more or less the same color for their uniforms. so unless you're really good at telling apart feldmutzen and pickelhaube from kepis you're going to have a bad time. close in fighting must have been an absolute nightmare.
I have that as my work computer's background.
