The artwork is housed at the Victor Balaguer Museum-library in Vilanova i la Geltru, Spain. In this powerful scene, Sorolla skillfully captures the chaos and violence of battle. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring to life the intensity of the conflict between French forces and Spanish opposition fighters. Smoke billows from cannons as soldiers engage in combat with their weapons drawn. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond the battlefield itself, as he includes various individuals caught up in this historical event. Among them are Luis Daoiz y Torres, a prominent figure who played a key role in resisting French occupation.
