Trumbull was no armchair historian — he served as an aide to George Washington and was present at Roxbury, Massachusetts on June 17, 1775, the very day of the Battle of Bunker's Hill. He witnessed General Joseph Warren, a Massachusetts politician and member of the colony's Committee of Safety, fall to British fire that day. The Surrender of Lord Cornwallis depicts the events of October 19, 1781 — when British Lieutenant General Cornwallis surrendered to combined American and French forces at Yorktown, Virginia, effectively ending the Revolutionary War. Trumbull traveled to Yorktown in 1791 to sketch the landscape firsthand before painting it.
