Oil painting: circle of van de Velde or possibly the Knyffs. It shows an naval vessel in port broadside view, and flying the Union at the main (normally the sign of a commander-in-chief) bombarding a fort at the entrance to a harbour town, on the right. This returns the fire. A horizontal-tricolour flag of red, white and dark blue, with three crescents in the white band, identifies this as an Islamic port, possibly intended to be on the North African or eastern Mediterranean coast. Green hills rise behind the town on a coastline stretching from lower right to back left where other English ships (presumably naval) lie in an anchorage. Boats are communicating from them to that firing on the harbour fort and a small two-masted lateen vessel, also flying Islamic colours is making its way out of the picture lower left. [PvdM 11/11].
