  2. We look across and down at a channel of water separating two landmasses labeled "Boston" and "Charles Town" in this horizontal landscape painting. Four three-masted ships are in the aquamarine-blue harbor between us and the land. Three of them have their sails unfurled and smoke billows from the broad, starboard side of each. Tidy rows of brown houses line the area of Boston. A puff of white smoke rises from the farthest point. Two arrow-shaped missiles, perhaps projectiles on fire, arc toward Charles Town, where billowing gray plumes of smoke rise from vivid orange fire on the far side of the landmass. Rowboats bring soldiers to the shore of Charles Town, close to where hundreds of soldiers line up and fire at each other. Much of the rest of Charles Town is a hill leading to sheer cliffs to our right. Tan and gray-colored smoke mixes among bright white clouds against a pale blue sky on the top half of the painting.

Section 3, south wall

  1. The image shows a woman standing upright with a small red book in her right hand. She has a fair complexion, neutral expression, slightly arched eyebrows, and small, rounded lips. Her dark brown hair is styled in an updo with a black accessory. She wears a high-necked dark dress with puffed sleeves and a white collar. The background is plain blue. The woman is not wearing any visible jewelry, and the setting is minimalistic with only the book present.
