Washington, Lafayette & Tilghman at Yorktown by Charles Wilson Peale commemorates the momentous event during the American Revolutionary War when General George Washington and his allies, the Marquis de Lafayette and Colonel Tench Tilghman, secured victory at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, effectively ending the conflict. The image is iconic as it highlights the cooperation between the Americans and their French allies, symbolized by Lafayette, during the crucial Yorktown campaign. This artwork captures the gravity of the Yorktown victory, where the British Army, led by General Cornwallis, surrendered to the combined American and French forces. The event led to the negotiation of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, recognizing American independence from Britain.
