That's a great painting! One of the things that might go unnoticed is Commodore Perry's 12 year old brother trying to pull him down out of the gunfire.
I’m just glad they had all of that wonderful artwork locked in the underground vaults when the insurrectionists stormed the Capitol or it would have all been destroyed!
