Assault of battleships Cabral and Lima Barros

In the foreground, on the left, small vessels with men on board, some wielding swords, others falling into the water, towards two larger vessels. On the right, riparian forest with trunks and branches inside the river. In the center of the screen, battleship with few men on board being boarded from all angles by small boats; to the left of the battleship, flames of fire. In the background, vegetation of leafy riparian forest, and, on the right, in the river, another battleship towards the main scene and, behind him, luminosity under fog suggesting flames of fire. Dark grayish blue sky with full moon illuminating the scene and reflecting in the river water and clouds. Author's signature in the lower right corner in red ink: "E. De Martino".
