Description

Finely executed mezzotint portrait of Esek Hopkins, the first person to serve as commander of the American Navy, during the American Revolution.

The portrait was engraved and offered for sale in London. London publisher Thomas Hart, issued a series of mezzotints of 'revolutionary rebels', most of which were copied and distributed in Europe with alternate titles.

Commodore Esek Hopkins (April 26, 1718 – February 26, 1802) was the only Commander in Chief of the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War. He was also an accomplished merchant captain and privateer.

In addition to the Native American men, approximately twenty-five white men and boys complete the intriguing outdoor scene. Several of the white men are armed with revolvers or long rifles, and one of the Native Americans appears to be preparing a bow and arrow. Other men handle various pieces of camp equipment including a coffee grinder and various cups and pans.
