About the piece

Painted around 1901 by L.M. Cooke, this vibrant folk art piece depicts a grand maritime salute to George Washington. The composition is alive with historical detail, from the sailors lining the rigging of the tall ships to the patriotic banners and the dramatic plumes of cannon smoke rising above the choppy blue waves.
