Emanuel Leutze's "Washington Crossing the Delaware" depicts the crossing of Washington's army just prior to the attack on the Hessians at Trenton on December 26, 1776. The man standing next to Washington holding the flag is Lieutenant James Monroe, future President of the United States, and the man leaning over the side is General Nathanael Greene.
