这部作品旨在成为"美国革命"系列中的第一个作品,以纪念1782年11月30日在巴黎签署的美英初步条约谈判委员会. 韦斯特描绘了五个美国人:约翰·杰伊,约翰·亚当斯,本杰明·富兰克林,亨利·劳伦斯,和威廉·坦普尔·富兰克林(本贾明·富兰克林的外孙). 韦斯特想从生活中画出参与者,除了本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)外,其他人都为他而坐. 然而,英国代表理查德·奥斯瓦尔德(Richard Oswald)和他的秘书Caleb Whiteford(英语:Caleb Whitefoord (film))本想被描绘在右边,却从未为艺术家和传统而坐过,因此奥斯瓦尔德不愿意这样做. 约翰·昆西·亚当斯(John Quincy Adams)在日记中讨论了这幅画:"正如我非常强烈地表示,我对这幅画应该留作未完成感到遗憾,韦斯特先生说,他认为他可以完成. 我理解他的意图是 把它送给国会" 相反,它仍未完成,是大不列颠与其前美洲殖民地分裂的有力象征。
