Description
English: In 1865, artist William Henry Powell painted Perry's Victory on Lake Erie, which now hangs in the Ohio Statehouse. Eight years later, he created this larger version in a temporary studio in the U.S. Capitol. The work depicts the moment when Perry made his way from the Lawrence to the Niagara. Powell used actual sailors as models for the unknown oarsmen, and noted the diversity of Perry's crew by including an African-American, seated toward the right. The frame features the name and date of the battle beneath the frame.
