Henry Arthur McArdle painted several portaits, among the most renowned of his historical canvases are the twin pieces Dawn at the Alamo (1876–1905) and The Battle of San Jacinto (completed 1898), which hang in the Senate Chamber in the Texas Capitol. These are extremely conscientious interpretations as to detail of topography, uniforms, equipment, and personal likeness. Although the paintings were checked for error by survivors, relatives, and students of Texas history, they are far from objective records. McArdle made changes to dramatize the battles.  

What details can you pick out from the portrait?
