Framed Salute to General Washington in New York by L.M. Cooke

Salute to General Washington in New York Harbor is a 1901 oil painting by L. M. Cooke that commemorates George Washington's triumphant return to New York City following the end of the American Revolutionary War. The scene depicts Washington aboard a ceremonial barge as American and French flags fly overhead and warships fire a thunderous salute in his honor. Painted in a charming American folk art style, the composition celebrates the birth of the new nation and the naval pageantry that marked Washington's arrival after the British evacuation of New York in 1783.
