About this clipart
This neoclassical oil painting by John Trumbull, completed in 1820, dramatizes the October 19, 1781, surrender of British General Charles Cornwallis to American and French forces at Yorktown, Virginia. Though historically inaccurate in some details-including Washington’s absence from the actual event-the work symbolizes the decisive victory that led to American independence. The composition features Washington on a white horse at center, flanked by allied commanders and soldiers under stormy skies and symbolic banners.
