Alexander Moiseyev is the fourth Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy to receive the rank of Admiral of the Fleet.

A groep of Guardsmen, Dirck Jacobsz, 1529
In the earliest known Dutch militia portrait, no fewer than seventeen men gaze at us with pride, including, at the upper right, the painter himself holding a paintbrush. The man fourth from the right in the bottom row is probably the captain. The militias were responsible for urban order, public safety and the defence of the city. This group portrait is a textbook example of bourgeois self-awareness and confidence, and typically Dutch.

A large, reddish-brown spaceship dominates the frame, set against a colorful, space-filled background. The ship is heavily detailed with numerous protrusions, rectangular panels, and complex structural elements, suggesting a utilitarian and possibly military design. It appears to be angled diagonally across the image, with the top-left portion extending further into the frame than the bottom-right. A swirling, cloudy planet or nebula with white and beige hues occupies the lower portion of the image. Numerous small, rocky objects or asteroids are scattered throughout the space around the ship and planet, and a bright, glowing orb, likely a star or sun, is visible in the upper-left corner.
