As Konstam points out, there are in fact two versions of this painting, the Italian (Ashmolean, Oxford) and the French (The Royal Armouries, Leeds).
Anonymous, The Battle of Pavia, 1525, oil painting, c. 1525-30. (Ashmolean, Oxford)
| Date | Description | Source | Reference |
| 1525 - 1530 A.D. | Thirty seven colourful tents (red, yellow, green, white or brown) consisting of mainly bell tents but there are three pavilions pictured. Where illustrated the two point attachment is used for the guy ropes. Only six of the tents show any decorations. | "Anonymous, The Battle of Pavia, 1525, oil painting, c. 1525-30. (Ashmolean,
Oxford). Similar to the Royal Armouries painting, the same artist has altered
the composition of this copy (or original). French text labels have replaced
the Italian ones, and the depiction of Mirabello is now in tune with other
contempory depictions."

(Royal Armouries, Leeds). Similar to the Ashmoelean representation of the
battle, it is unclear which of the two paintins was produced first. Clearly
bothe are by the same artist, although in this cas the captions are written
in Italian. In the foreground Francis I clashes with Lannony's cavalry.
The middle distance shows the Imperialist infantry passing through the
breach, with siege works in the background, and in the upper left corner
French troops are shown fleeing the battle."
