Description

Painting of men attacking a castle defended by soldiers. Evening battle scene between men in blue, historically styled uniforms bearing spears and guns, and men in colourful long shirts and pants with similar weapons. The uniformed soldiers stand on a hill beside and in front of a grey castle flying flags among the crenellations. In the foreground stands the group in multicoloured shirts, in possession of cannons, several cannon balls flying. The space between the two groups is grey with smoke. In the distance is a dark blue sky with light blue clouds.
