DescriptionThe image is a town scape as a setting for figures in an armed conflict; a wide road extends from the lower left corner to the middle right with a red structure appearing on both sides of the road. In the foreground male figures on foot, and one on horseback, run right breaking down a split rail fence; a group of men with what appear to be small cannons gather next to the red structure on the right.On View
