From Wikipedia:

General Andrew Jackson stands on the parapet of his makeshift defenses as his troops repulse attacking Highlanders. (The Highlanders are incorrectly depicted wearing kilts and feather bonnets as the 93rd Highlanders for this campaign had been ordered to wear tartan trousers and plain bonnets – in fact the uniforms shown are more Victorian in style than Georgian. See, “Historical Records of the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders”, Roderick Hamilton Burgoyne, London, 1883.)
