A detailed etching depicts a 17th-century military landing or raid on a coastal settlement.

In the foreground to the right, a commanding officer in elaborate attire—including a doublet with decorative buttons, a plumed hat, and high leather boots—points a telescope or baton toward a man in a small rowboat at the water's edge. Behind the commander stands a group of armed soldiers; one is clad in classical-style armor with a plumed helmet and holds a large round shield, while others carry muskets and pikes.

The background to the right shows a stone building or small fortification on a hill, heavily engulfed in flames with thick black smoke billowing into the sky. On the left, two large three-masted sailing ships are anchored in the bay. Near the shore on the left, another large group of armed men is visible, suggesting a coordinated amphibious assault.
