The scene is rendered in a detailed etching style typical of the period, with the landscape showing rolling hills and defensive works. The battle scene is quite chaotic, with soldiers engaged in combat across the foreground. There's extensive use of smoke effects from what appears to be gunfire or artillery, represented by billowing clouds throughout the composition. The town's architecture is carefully detailed, featuring a prominent church with a tall spire at the center of the image. The perspective is from a slightly elevated viewpoint, allowing the artist to show both the immediate battle action in the foreground and the broader landscape and town layout in the background. Letters are placed throughout the image, corresponding to a legend in the decorative banner above that explains different elements of the scene in Latin. This type of military scene engraving was common in the 16th and 17th centuries, serving both as historical documentation and as news media of the time, informing people about important military engagements and victories.
