Visit of an English fleet to Rio de Janeiro

Oval-shaped canvas depicting, in the foreground, dark blue sea with small white waves. On the right, on an islet, a brown fortress with soldiers in its guardhouses and, next to it, white houses. Ahead, at the pier, two men make a load. At sea, a small canoe with a man rowing, with a white flag flying with a shield in the center. Right behind, a vessel with sails flown with the same flag. On the left, a small boat with a brown and red hull with sails collected and a group of men inside. In the background, taking in the entire field of the screen, several large vessels with full-length white sails, red pennants and an English flag flying. In the hull, a battery of cannons that shoot, forming small smoky white parts. Ahead, small rowing boats with large numbers of people. In the background, cutouts of mountains with some houses. Blue sky with reddish white clouds.
