A painting unearthed in a Warren Rhode Island junk shop has been identified as a rare portrait of a black Revolutionary War sailor dating to 1779.

The ship is depicted with the privateer flag, and its history includes capture by Britain in 1780, recapture by America in 1781, a 1784 goodwill mission to England, and later service in the China trade.
