About this work

A calm sea scene shows a large sailing warship on the left firing its guns, with smoke drifting from its side and several other ships in the middle distance. Small boats with rowers and figures in the foreground and a sailing vessel on the right complete the composition beneath a pale, cloud-filled sky.
