About the piece
Painted by John Smibert in 1745, this formal portrait depicts William Pepperrell following his victory at Louisbourg. The subject is rendered with an authoritative presence, dressed in a rich scarlet coat and holding a commander's baton, while the atmospheric landscape in the background details the historical siege, combining aristocratic dignity with narrative depth.
