The interior of a bare and plainly furnished room in a country inn; a number of middle-aged and plainly dressed men stand waiting for dinner to be served. Through a door in the back wall a serving-boy enters with a tureen, followed by a stout woman carrying a turkey, who is followed by a man-servant. A man (left), wearing spurred jack-boots, stands in profile to the left to hang his hat on a peg. He faces a framed notice which has not yet been filled in with text as in the finished version. In the centre two men, one wearing top-boots, the other in quasi-military dress, face each other, grinning. A third, with a pen and ink-horn at his buttonhole, tries to insinuate himself into the conversation. On the right a stout man stands at a table before a punch-bowl and a sugar-basin: his hands are folded and his eyes closed as if in prayer. Beside and behind him a man with a bottle in one hand sniffs at another bottle (both later labeled in final state). An irate man (left) stands at the end of the table, watch in hand. Above the door a picture of a mounted huntsman hangs askew. On the wall are (left) hats and sticks, (right) a map of the world in two hemispheres

"Using a powerful diagonal composition echoed in smaller intersecting diagonals of lights and darks, Trumbull depicts the moment when General Montgomery expires in the arms of Major Matthias Ogden. Before him on the snow-covered ground lie the bodies of his two aides-de-camp, Captains Jacob Cheeseman and John MacPherson. Lieutenants John Humphries and Samuel Cooper and Lieutenant Colonel Donald Campbell surround the two central figures in a protective semicircle, while an Oneida Indian chief, Colonel "Joseph Louis," defiantly raises his tomahawk in the direction of the shots. Three figures in the left foreground, Major Return Johnathan Meigs and Captains Samuel Ward and William Hendricks, gesture in shock at the sight of their dying general. With spontaneous, fluid brushwork and a palette of rich, glowing colors, Trumbull conveys the excitement of the battle, and the intense drama surrounding the tragic death of Montgomery."--Yale University Art Gallery eCatalogue
