DescriptionSeven large warships are engaged in naval combat in the middle distance. Smoke and flames issue from the cannons on both sides of a large vessel in the center. The sails of all seven ships are riddled with holes from cannon fire. Flags and pennants fly from their masts. Additional ships are faintly visible in the background.
