About this work
A man is kneeling next to two women with their children. Behind them, two men (probably soldiers) are in conversation with two women. Behind them, two Muslim galley slaves are watching. These enslaved men are identifiable as Muslims by their characteristic hairstyle (shaved head except for a tuft of hair), which they were required to wear. On the left foreground, two sacks stand next to a cannon. On the right in the distance, a galley is sailing.
