Kate Haselden, Research Fellow with the Understanding British Portraits network, finds out more about the sitter featured in Liverpool artist and pre-Raphaelite William Lindsay Windus' painting of 'The Black Boy'.
Painted in 1844, the artwork is the only painted portrait of an individual Black child on display at the International Slavery Museum (currently on loan from Walker Art Gallery) and the only oil painting of such a subject that exists within the entire collection of National Museums Liverpool.

I was really hoping they would do a full restoration of the painting, and remove the old varnish and retouching. As wonderful as this image is, the varnish is probably hiding its true splendor.
