About this work

Spanish naval frigate at a Spanish fort, a skiff rowing away from the fort. On the horizon, several ships are visible, including two other similar frigates. In the foreground, chained prisoners are led past the fort. On the ship prominently in the foreground, the escort on the right, and on the castle, the same Spanish flags are waving. The ships and the fort are Mediterranean in architectural style.
