Washington Resigning His Commission, painted by Edwin White, depicts the pivotal moment on December 23, 1783, when George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army at the Maryland State House in Annapolis. This symbolic act marked the transfer of military power to civilian authority, reinforcing the principles of a democratic republic. The scene captures Washington handing his commission to the President of the Continental Congress, Thomas Mifflin, in the presence of an assembled crowd. Edwin White's rendition of this historic event, with attention to detail and a focus on the emotions of the participants, contributes to the visual narrative of America's early history and the ideals of self-governance.
