Description
English: A depiction of a sea battle between a convoy of Turkish ships sailing from Constantinople to Alexandria and carrying a number of pilgrims bound for Mecca, which were attacked by the Knights Hospitaller of Malta during the Action of 28 September 1644. (The year "1645" in the image caption appears to be a mistake.)

On the left, a galley labelled "Capitaine de Malte" ("Maltese captain") engages a vessel labelled "Griechisches Schiff" ("Greek ship"). In the middle, two ships labelled "S. Iohann" and "S. Ioseph" engage another Turkish sailing vessel labelled "Türckisches Schiff" ("Turkish ship"); and on the right, three galleys labelled "S. Laurentz", "S. Maria" and "Victoria" surround a ship labelled "Türckische Gallion" ("Turkish galleon"). In the distance on the right are more vessels labelled "Türckische Schiff" ("Turkish ship[s]"), while on the left the land is marked "Rhode" in German and "Rhodis" in Latin ("Rhodes"). The sea is labelled "Mediterrannee".
