@BeschlossDC there are at least half dozen errors in this painting. Who can find one or more? -
The flag did not exist at the time (25 Dec 1776). The Continental Congress did not consider a flag until 1777.

@BeschlossDC I love that picture! I often use it as my computer screen background. I often wonder, what details are historically verifiable? -
