Description
John Johnston (1753-1818), self-portrait, 1783, The American Revolution Institute collection. Note: At the outbreak of the Revolution, John Johnston joined Henry Knox’s Continental Artillery Regiment as a lieutenant. At the Battle of Brooklyn in August 1776, Johnston was badly wounded and taken prisoner. His injuries prevented him from returning to service, and he retired from the army in October 1777. Shortly after, he established himself as a painter and decorator in his native Boston. This pastel self-portrait is one of more than fifty portraits he painted, including likenesses of numerous fellow veterans of the Revolution.
