Both men are dressed in military uniform; however, Duncan’s uniform is more decorated compared to De Winter’s.

In exergue there is a trophy of arms celebrating the British victory and surrounding the scene are the inscriptions “DUTCH FLEET DEFEATED,” “9 SHIPS OF THE LINE CAPTURED,” “11 OCT 1797,” “W. WYON,” and “MUDIE D.”
