The plate, with its irregular edges, is line-drawn, but deeply bitten. The motif can be compared to a similar group in the Demolition of the Fortifications (small plate) (Ba 301). It would therefore represent a scene from the area. The title chosen here is that given by G. Grignard. The date of this plate is very uncertain.
