Product Details:

Washington and the Committee of Congress at Valley Forge, 1777 by William Henry Powell depicts General George Washington during the harsh winter encampment at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Created in the 19th century, the painting captures a critical moment when a congressional delegation visits Washington to assess the dire conditions of the Continental Army. Washington, standing tall and composed, is shown presenting the suffering of his troops—undersupplied and weather-beaten—while maintaining the dignity and resolve of leadership. Powell emphasizes patriotic endurance, using a classical composition and expressive lighting to contrast Washington’s calm determination with the gravity of the situation, symbolizing both the sacrifices made and the perseverance that would lead to eventual victory in the American Revolutionary War.
