About the piece
Painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1779, this masterful portrait depicts George Washington as Commander-in-Chief following the victory at Princeton. Washington is shown in his distinctive blue and buff uniform, leaning casually against a captured cannon with a horse and battle-swept landscape in the background, capturing both his dignity and the atmosphere of the American Revolution.
