拍品专文

This is one of five known paintings by or attributed to Frederick Kemmelmeyer depicting George Washington reviewing the troops at Fort Cumberland. One of these paintings is located at Winterthur Museum, Winterthur, Delaware, and another is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. All of the works are believed to have been painted before 1803 while Kemmelmeyer lived in Baltimore, Maryland. General Washington gathered his troops at Fort Cumberland on 17-18 October 1794 to calm the population enraged about excised laws passed in 1791 and 1792 for Western Maryland, in what has been called The Whiskey Rebellion.
