The painting depicts a scene during the Peninsular War when the Spanish naval base in Cadiz was besieged by a French army under Marshals Claude Victor and Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult. In this artwork measuring 81.3x181 cm, we witness an array of majestic ships from different nations gathered off the coast of Cadiz. The British, French, Portuguese, and Spanish vessels stand as symbols of power and unity amidst conflict. This visual representation captures the complexity of alliances formed during times of war. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between these maritime forces through his meticulous brushstrokes.
