Good morning ladies. Flag-o-gram.

John Trumbull
Oil on canvas, 12' x 18'
Commissioned 1817; purchased 1820
Capitol Rotunda

The surrender of the British at Yorktown, Virginia, on October 19, 1781, ended the Revolutionary War. Trumbull placed American General Benjamin Lincoln at the center on a white horse, with French officers on the left and Americans on the right, led by General Washington on the brown horse. The British were represented by officers, but Lord Cornwallis himself was not present. Trumbull was proud of the fact that he had painted portraits of the French officers while in France; he also included a self-portrait in the group under the American flag.

Hi PE!

Very nice Flag-o-gram today, thank you. How is everyone in the house hold.? Little one sleeping well?

I know these are very busy times for you. I appreciate the time you take selecting a lovely Flag each day.
