American Commissioners of the Preliminary Peace Agreement with Great Britain, also known as the Treaty of Paris, is a 1783 unfinished painting by Benjamin West depicting the United States delegation that negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which formally ended the American Revolutionary War. Peace negotiations began in Paris on June 25, 1783, and the eventual signing of the treaty took place on September 3, 1783 at the Hotel York at 56 rue Jacob. The green drapery in the painting's background and the distant landscape with a classical colonnaded building emphasize the scene's formality.

  • Der Vertrag von Paris (original: American Commissioners of the Preliminary Peace Negotiations with Great Britain oder kurz Treaty of Paris) ist ein unvollendetes Gemälde von Benjamin West aus dem Jahr 1783. Im Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg wurde bereits im November 1782 zwischen Großbritannien und den Vereinigten Staaten ein Vorfrieden unterzeichnet. Etwa 10 Monate später sollte in Paris ein endgültiges Abkommen geschlossen werden, welches dann als Frieden von Paris in die Geschichte einging. Dieses Ereignis wollte Benjamin West für die Nachwelt festhalten, der mit der Delegation nach Paris gekommen war. Das Ölgemälde auf Leinwand ist 92 × 72 cm groß und zeigt die US-Delegation, die sich darauf vorbereitet, den Pariser Vertrag von 1783 weiter auszuhandeln und zu unterzeichnen, um den amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg offiziell zu beenden. Die endgültige Unterzeichnung des Vertrags erfolgte am 3. September 1783 im Hotel York in der Rue Jacob 56. Das Bild zeigt (von links nach rechts) John Jay, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Laurens und . Da sich die britische Delegation als Vertreter der Verlierer weigerte, Modell zu sitzen, wurde das Gemälde nie fertiggestellt. Die Leinwand ist auf der rechten Seite mit Pastelltönen vorbereitet, aber im Übrigen leer. Auch die Hose von John Adams und die Anzüge von Henry Laurens und William Temple Franklin sind nicht vollständig ausgemalt, dies sollte erst mit der endgültigen Fertigstellung geschehen. Das Gemälde kam später in den Besitz der JPMorgan Chase Art Collection und wurde von dort im Jahr 1948 aufgekauft von . Heute ist das Bild ausgestellt im Winterthur Museum, dem ehemaligen Sitz der Familie du Pont in Winterthur (Delaware). (de)
  • American Commissioners of the Preliminary Peace Agreement with Great Britain, also known as the Treaty of Paris, is a 1783 unfinished painting by Benjamin West depicting the United States delegation that negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which formally ended the American Revolutionary War. Peace negotiations began in Paris on June 25, 1783, and the eventual signing of the treaty took place on September 3, 1783 at the Hotel York at 56 rue Jacob. The green drapery in the painting's background and the distant landscape with a classical colonnaded building emphasize the scene's formality. John Jay, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Laurens, and William Temple Franklin (presented from left to right) are depicted early during the negotiation process (Laurens and the younger Franklin were not present at the treaty's signing). Benjamin Franklin was the only U.S. delegate who did not pose in person; West drew his likeness from an engraving. Meant to be depicted on the right, the British delegation comprising representative Richard Oswald and his secretary, Caleb Whitefoord, declined to pose. Britain had no desire to commemorate its defeat, and Oswald was reportedly ugly and blind in one eye and consequently reluctant to be depicted. The conspicuous absence of the British commissioners evokes the "tentative nature of the peace" and the "deep geopolitical antagonisms" that persisted after the Revolution. West never completed his painting. According to John Quincy Adams, West intended to present the painting as a gift to Congress. The painting, a gift of Henry Francis du Pont, is in the permanent collection of the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, du Pont's former home in Winterthur, Delaware. Du Pont had purchased the work from the J. P. Morgan collection in 1948. The painting was displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2016 as part of an exhibition on unfinished paintings. (en)
