General George Washington Resigning His Commission is a large-scale oil-on-canvas painting by the American artist John Trumbull depicting General George Washington's resignation as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army on December 23, 1783, to the Congress of the Confederation. The painting now hangs in the United States Capitol rotunda. This engraved vignette, produced for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, draws heavily on Trumbull's painting, and was used on the reverse of the 1000-dollar denomination of the first issue of National Bank Notes from 1875.Engraving credit: Luigi (Louis) Delnoce and Frederick Girsch, after John Trumbull; restored by Andrew Shiva
