这幅巨大的蛇正在袭击一匹白马的画在1833皇家艺术学院展出。在过去，这幅画被认为是拿破仑的阿拉伯充电器，马伦戈-因此标题马伦戈和蛇的框架。然而，它更可能显示乔治三世的马，阿多尼斯。沃德在绘画中一直使用寓言，所以这部作品意在表现君主政体（马）的权力正受到政府（蛇）的威胁，因为它准备在1832年通过《大改革法案》来扩大特权范围。

This painting of a huge snake about to attack a white horse was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1833. In the past, the painting was thought to show Napoleon’s Arab charger, Marengo - hence the title Marengo and the Serpent on the frame. However, it is more likely to show George III’s horse, Adonis. Ward consistently used allegory in his paintings, so this work may be intended to show the power of the monarchy (the horse) being threatened by the government (the serpent) as it prepared to widen the franchise by passing the Great Reform Bill in 1832.
