Product Details:

The French Soissonnais Regiment being Reviewed at Philadelphia by President Washington and Congress, 1781 by Charles M. Lefferts portrays the French infantry unit - the Soissonnais Regiment - proudly marching past President Washington and assembled Congress on a sprawling Philadelphia lawn in 1781. Lefferts meticulously renders the soldiers in characteristic white uniforms with pink facings and grenadier hats, flags waving as Washington and congressional leaders observe from horseback. The scene recalls the dramatic review in September after their march from Newport to support the Yorktown campaign. It captures a moment of Franco-American alliance and military pageantry, emphasizing the symbolic significance of French aid and the solemn dignity of their involvement in securing American independence.
