Schaak Pinx"; this is the second state by the substitution of the words "From an original picture in the possession of Henry Smith Esq." (Library has both states)
Full figure, standing to the left, head in profile, in uniform with a hat. His right arm is outstretched forward pointing his forefinger. His left hand is on his waist. The battle of Quebec is raging in the background with troops exiting boats on the river to the shore.
