About this work

This painting shows a view from an elevated stone bastion over a broad waterway, with rows of cannons and a tall flagpole flying a red and blue banner. Below, a town of brick and stone buildings stretches along the shoreline, crowded with masted sailing ships and steamships, while hills rise in the distance.
