"A naval battle scene in the year 1712, set 6 miles off the coast of Portugal, with the iconic Tower of Belém visible far in the distance, partially obscured by sea mist and situated on the horizon. The Spanish corsair’s powerful 200-ton brigantine, armed with 26 cannons, dominates the scene, firing three shots that send billows of smoke across the deck. In contrast, the smaller 50-ton sloop Saint Joseph, with modest masts and minimal defenses, looks vulnerable and overwhelmed. The focus is on the corsair's ship: Amaro, a tall figure with long, straight black hair, stands on deck facing away from the viewer, with no hat, and wearing 18th-century naval attire, but without a beard. He gestures commandingly, directing his seasoned crew. In the foreground, a small launch carrying a sailor rows swiftly toward the sloop, holding a Dutch flag to create a strategic deception. The sea is turbulent, with waves crashing against the hulls, adding to the drama of the encounter."
