In 1865, artist William H. Powell illustrated Perry's victory in a painting which now hangs in Ohio's state capitol. 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 Perry's message to General Harrison in gold lettering at the top, and the name and date of the battle on the cartouche at the bottom.
