Description
English: The "Black Admiral" painting. The pale spots are areas where solvents were applied. Revolutionary War-era U.S. painting of unknown provenance that appears to depict a black man in U.S. naval uniform. In 2006, it was revealed that this 18th-century painting was merely a white sailor overlaid in the mid-to-late 20th century with African features.
Français : La peinture dite le Marin corsaire noir, l’Amiral noir ou le Portrait d'un marin noir de la Guerre d'indépendance, en cours de restauration, 2005. Les taches pâles sont des zones où des solvants ont été appliqués. Ce portrait datant de l'époque de la Guerre d'indépendance américaine représente un homme noir en uniforme, avec un navire corsaire américain à l'arrière-plan. En 2005, une restauration a révélé que le tableau dépeignait à l'origine un marin blanc, qui avait été repeint au XXe siècle afin de lui conférer des traits caractéristiques noirs. La découverte a fait chuter la valeur estimée du tableau de US$300 000 à US$3 000.
