Two long panels at the top and bottom depict the British ambassadors' procession to and from Breda. The six remaining panels, three on either side of the central image, depict lines of riflemen shooting a salvo before the Castle of Breda, the Castle of Breda by a river, another scene of the ambassadors meeting indoors, and three scenes of celebratory firework displays in the city streets
