On 4 July 1775, Gustaf Lundberg painted a portrait of Couschi, born on Saint Croix in the Danish West Indies. As a child, he was taken from his family and brought to the Swedish court. In the portrait he wears “Indian” fancy dress. He has won a game of chess and triumphantly holds up a white knight. In an inscription, the artist points out that, though 80 years of age, he did not need to wear spectacles or use a mahlstick to steady his hand.
