The Delaware Regiment at the Battle of Long Island[edit]

**Original** - Colonial American soldiers in combat.

I think this has strong feature picture potential. It is the lead image of the same subject shown in the painting, so definite EV, it is a selected image in a portal and its quality is so good you can see the grain of the canvass. It might need a little work, it might be blacker than it ought to be and the sky a strange tint too much of purplish-pink, but I think the tweaks needed are minor and that this meets the criteria of a featured picture.

Can someone help me find some technical information about the painting, its date and creator? I can't find anything.

This definitely appears featureable. Might need minor edits, as you say, but I'll leave that to someone who knows the original better. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 19:23, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'll note that this is not a painting from the period it depicts: here's another from the same painter depicting WWI. This may detract somewhat from its encyclopedic value. Jujutacular ^T · C 18:29, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The time period shouldn't detract from the actual quality of the painting. I say it's worth going ahead and nominating this for FP. Spellcast (talk) 09:51, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
