Portrait No. 006 of 250

Companions of Liberty is Walt & Pete®’s signature collection of 250 historically inspired portraits created to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the United States. Through museum-quality artistic interpretation informed by Revolutionary-era research, the series illuminates overlooked stories of service, resilience, scholarship, and everyday life while encouraging deeper appreciation for the diverse people whose experiences shaped the American founding era.

This portrait depicts two Black soldiers serving with the French Expédition Particulière, seated at a candlelit table within an eighteenth-century interior. One carefully writes with a feather quill in an open ledger while the other stands beside him observing the work. Their white uniforms with blue facings, leather equipment, and military sidearms reflect documented French service attire of the Revolutionary period.

The table is arranged with historically appropriate objects, including a brass candlestick, a pewter tankard, leather-bound books, an inkwell, spectacles, drafting instruments, and a French-style tricorn hat. In the background, additional figures gather indoors while activity continues outside beneath evening lanterns, creating a richly detailed museum-inspired composition rooted in documented material culture.

Why These Stories Matter

The American victory for independence depended not only on Continental forces but also on vital assistance from France and the contributions of people whose stories have too often been underrepresented. Preserving historically informed depictions of Black participants serving with French forces broadens public understanding of the Revolutionary era and highlights the complexity, diversity, and international character of the struggle for independence.
