About this work

A dramatic painting shows uniformed officers and soldiers gathered on a rocky cliff above a churning green sea, with one man kneeling at a freshly dug mound topped by a bicorne hat and a spade. Smoke and a shaft of golden light fill the sky, while a laurel branch and wreckage drift in the waves below.
