About this work

A naval engagement is shown with several sailing warships under billowing sails on choppy green water, their hulls partly veiled by drifting powder smoke. A large ship in the foreground flies a flag with stars and stripes, while other vessels and flags recede toward the horizon under a sky of pink and grey clouds.
