George Washington

After Léon Cogniet French
Not on view
This lithograph may have been created in Europe around 1848, when uprisings in favor of reform in France and Germany sparked renewed interest in the American Revolution. The image relies on Léon Cogniet's 1836 portrait that shows Washington standing on the bank of the Delaware River—details of the latter taken from John Trumbull’s famous representation of the general at the Battle of Trenton, where the beleaguered Americans won an unexpected victory on December 26, 1776.
