This picture depicts the actions of Pocahontas as she saved John Smith. Smith, who was the author of the General History of Virginia, was the only source to what happened in Jamestown. At this moment, when he was captured by Powhatan's men, he was to be put to death but Pocahontas saved his life. This is historically correct because Smith mentioned it in his story. Also, its important, because if it weren't for Pocahontas' actions, the true story of the settlement of Jamestown would be lost forever.
I might be metaphorically correct since historian doubt much of Smith's Pocahontas story.
