AI Analysis Suggests Hans Holbein Portraits May Have Been Misidentified for Centuries
Researchers at the University of Bradford have used AI to analyze two Hans Holbein sketches from the Royal Collection, finding that the Unidentified Woman may actually be Anne Boleyn while the Windsor sketch previously attributed to her could be her mother Elizabeth Howard. The misidentifications likely stem from incorrect inscriptions added in the 1700s. The AI analysis clustered the portraits within the Boleyn-Howard family group, challenging centuries of accepted attribution.
