No, but I'd like to see that one if you can give a URL for it.

In the one I have in mind, he is advancing from the left (I think).
He might have his right arm, but I doubt it, since I think that
was probably part of what got him so glorified. He is carrying
a sword, and other British soldiers are near him. It's his neutral
facial expression that is interesting to me, in re the "violence
delivered phlegmatically" quotation from the article that the
picture accompanied.

That's not it, but the posture is about right. And the person in
question looks more like Horatio Nelson than G. Washington.
