Various scenes of the Battle for the City of Stade. In the foreground a kneeling person (maybe personification of Sweden) offers the keys of the City to King of Denmark that is on an horseback at right, together with three knights. Shields of the Duchy of Bremen-Verden and of Stade are below the kneeling person. In the background the main camp of the Danish Army and the bombardment of the fortified city of Stade.
