Following the battle of Grochów of February 25, the Poles managed to stop the Russian advance and repel the forces of Gen. count von Diebitsch. However, it was not until the spring that a Polish Corps under Ignacy Prądzyński started a counter-offensive.

Prądzyński, believing the remainder of the Polish forces would arrive shortly, decided to assault the Russians with his avant garde only. The mounted artillery units under Gen. Józef Bem took advantage of its mobility and successfully shelled the village of Iganie defended by Russian infantry. This allowed for the Polish infantry led by Prądzyński himself to recapture the village. After the initial surprise, the Russian forces managed to regroup across the river and started shelling the Poles with their artillery, much supperior in numbers. Seing the numerical inferiority of the Poles, the Russian commander ordered the artillery barrage to stop and the infantry to charge the Polish positions from across the river. However, shortly after the Russians entered the combat, the combined forces of Prądzyński's infantry and Gen. Ludwik Kicki's cavalry managed to cut the Russians from their rear and seize the sole bridge above the river. Fountain by Marcel Duchamp (signed as R.
