For some reason, this is giving me Monty Python vibes.

I'm getting Discworld, the art style feels very Paul Kidby

I love the detail of him slicing the jugular of one of his own men

I don't think that's intended to be one of his own soldiers. He was killed in the process of attempting to kill one of the Argive soldiers in the city. The Argive's mother saw Pyrrhus attempting to kill her son and dropped the brick tile on his head. In this image, I think the soldier at the bottom is intended to be the Argive.
