Winds of Change
Washington at Valley Forge, March 4, 1778
The scene shows von Steuben, who is on foot, talking
with Washington, who has ridden up to see how the drilling of the troops is
going. No more than twenty-five or thirty men could be drilled at any one time.
The troops, including Washington’s Life Guards, wait at ease. Alexander
Hamilton, the next most prominent rider under the flags and immediately in back
of Washington, is easily recognized – his picture is on the $10 bill. – Mort Künstler
Mort has painted all the
figures and some of the flags. After painting the flags above the troops on the
left, and the foreground, the painting will be complete.
