The watercolour of a battle is executed in predominantly grey and blue and a few shades of red. The painting is executed with a fine brush stroke. The viewer is drawn directly into the action by the depiction of the row of battles in the foreground on the right, with the drama of the scene enhanced by rising clouds of smoke and the sparks spraying from the guns. The watercolour is surrounded by a contemporary, elaborately carved and gilded oak frame. Dimensions: 15.3 x 20.8 cm (picture detail)
