Pen and wash drawing of sailing warships in battle on grey choppy sea, smoke rising among the ships under a pale sky.

De zeeslag bij Livorno, 14 maart 1653: episode uit de Eerste Engelse Zeeoorlog (1652-54)

A grey-toned sea battle unfolds across open water, with tall sailing warships in the foreground and middle distance firing smoke clouds. Several ships list and burn while others sail through the haze under a pale, cloudy sky.

Español: Batalla naval frente a Livorno, 14 de marzo de 1653

Una batalla naval en tonos grises se desarrolla sobre mar abierto, con altos navíos de vela en primer plano y en la distancia que lanzan nubes de humo. Algunos barcos escoran y arden mientras otros avanzan entre la neblina bajo un cielo pálido.
