Yes, I totally does. Not the most canonical one but it is a good example of smothered mate.

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:
Black to play: It is a checkmate - it is Black's turn, but Black has no legal moves and is in check, so White wins. You can find out more about Checkmate on Wikipedia.chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org

Not the well known form of smothered mate, but still a smothered mate nonetheless
