Sir William Sydney Smith wounded in the shoulder at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801, painted by his friend Robert Ker Porter
Summary edit
| Description |
English: This portrait of Royal Navy Commodore Sir Sidney Smith was painted by Robert Ker Porter in London in early 1802. It shows how Smith looked during the Battle of Alexandria when General Ralph Abercrombie was mortally wounded. Smith had been shot in the right shoulder by a spent musket ball causing a painful contusion. The arm sling is made from his Turkish sash he wore in the battle and at the Siege of Acre. This is a staged portrait. By the time had returned to London, he was fully recovered. This portrait was then engraved by Edward Mitchell in 1805 to help depict the scene of the Death of General Abercrombie. |
