General Pickett Taking the Order to Charge from General Longstreet, Gettysburg, July 3, 1863 by Henry Alexander Ogden portrays the dramatic and fateful moment just before Pickett’s Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg. In the scene, General George E. Pickett receives orders from General James Longstreet, who appears reluctant and grim, knowing the charge is likely doomed. Pickett, often shown with a proud or resolute expression, prepares to lead his division in what would become a disastrous frontal assault against fortified Union positions on Cemetery Ridge. The background features assembled Confederate troops and distant smoke from earlier fighting, hinting at the magnitude of the engagement. Ogden captures the emotional contrast between the youthful enthusiasm of Pickett and the somber gravity of Longstreet, foreshadowing the tragic outcome of one of the most famous moments in the Civil War.
