The image showcases the intensity and chaos of warfare during this pivotal moment in history. The composition depicts an army engaged in fierce combat on a beach, with ships anchored nearby as means of transport for both sides. Bodies lay strewn across the sand, serving as haunting reminders of the brutal reality faced by soldiers on both ends.
