This is one of a pair of meticulously rendered watercolors depicting the Siege and Surrender of Yorktown during the American Revolutionary War. Based on drawings by Alexandre and César Berthier, eye-witnesses to the battles and draftsmen under Rochambeau, each miniature measures only 3 1/8 inches in diameter and illustrates over 300 individual figures.
Signed and dated: "van Blarenberghe 1785" on lower left of card.
