This is an etching or engraving depicting a nautical scene with several sailing vessels on a rough sea. On the right side of the image, there is a large sailing ship with its sails billowing, seemingly in a defensive posture (as inferred from the text "Il Pattaccio che si difende"). There appears to be smoke emitting from the ship, which might indicate the firing of cannons or some sort of battle.

In the center of the image is a smaller sailing vessel heading towards the larger ship ("che vanno a investire il Pattaccio"), implying that it is on the offensive or coming to engage with the larger vessel. To the left of the image is another ship ("Galea Padrona va a soccorrere"), smaller than the first one and angled in a way that suggests it might be coming to aid the ship being approached.

The waters are depicted with wavy lines to give the impression of movement and turmoil, which, along with the ships' positions and the text, suggests that a naval confrontation is occurring. There is a cloudy or hazy sky above, and the overall scene is bustling with activity.
