- ... that while landscape painter Francis Augustus Silva (pictured) was a Civil War captain, he was mistakenly dishonorably discharged and later rejoined the army as a hospital steward? Source: "He was quickly appointed to the rank of Captain, but, owing to illness and a misunderstanding with his superior officer, he was accused of desertion and was dishonorably discharged in 1862. Three years later, the circumstances of the incident were resolved, and Silva rejoined the army as a hospital steward" (American Paradise: the World of the Hudson river School)
- ALT1:... that landscape painter Francis Augustus Silva (pictured) started out as a sign painter in New York, also painting landscape and historical scenes on stagecoaches? Source: "After trying his hand at several occupations, Silva became a sign-painter's apprentice, advancing rapidly in the trade and also practicing the art of embellishing the wooden panels of stage coaches and other vehicles with landscape and historical subjects."

- I have struck the second QPQ because (1) only one QPQ is needed for this nomination, and (2) it is not a full review. Yoninah (talk) 21:10, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:25, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
