Can you help us solve this mystery š¤ This painting is thought to be one of the earliest known full-length depictions of a black individual in British portraiture. Technical analysis has revealed that an inscription identifying the boy on the left as Prince Rupert is a later addition, but the inscribed date of 1626 is original. So, the question remains, who are the two boys? š Room 4 on Floor 3, National Portrait Gallery, London. šØPortrait of Two Unidentified Youths, by an unknown artist, oil on canvas, 1626.
