The image is a painting of a group of people on a rocky shore, with a large explosion in the background. The explosion appears to be taking place in a mountainous area, with large rocks and debris scattered around. The sky is filled with dark clouds and there is a large fire burning on the left side of the image.

In the center of the painting, there are several people on the shore, some of whom are holding weapons, including a cannon and a bow and arrow. The people are dressed in traditional Chinese clothing and appear to be engaged in a battle. On the right side, there is another person standing on the edge of the water, looking up at the explosion. The painting is done in a realistic style, with vibrant colors and intricate details. The text on the painting is written in Chinese characters, which translates to "The battle of the sea."
