About this work

This print shows a chaotic sea battle packed with figures. Soldiers in armor fight on ships and in the water, while horses and mythical creatures swirl around them. The scene is crowded with weapons, sinking boats, and dramatic poses—some figures are falling, others are standing tall. The title at the bottom says it’s a fight between Greeks and Trojans, a story from ancient history. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to create movement and drama.
