Lee Surrendering to Grant at Appomattox

Five men in dark military uniforms stand in a bare, plastered room with a wooden door behind them. An older man with a white beard leans over a table covered in papers, while a sword hangs at the side of a standing officer and an empty wooden chair sits nearby.
