Researchers May Have Just Identified A Rare Portrait Of Anne Boleyn That Was Hiding In Plain Sight For 500 Years

By Kaleena Fraga

A sketch by German artist Hans Holbein the Younger created sometime in the 1530s and known only as the "Unidentified Woman" may in fact be an extremely rare portrait of Anne Boleyn.

Painting of Anne Boleyn. She is shown from the chest up. She has large dark eyes; her hair is brown and parted in the middle. It is tucked under a French hood. It is black with pearls. She is wearing a tight string of pearls with a large, golden letter "B" pendant hanging from it. The "B" has three pearls hanging at the bottom. She is also wearing a long string of pearls and a chain. Her dress is a dark square-necked gown made of black fabric. The neckline trim is decorated with intricate black embroideries and a border of gold and white pearls.

"I was talking to my close #family, and we're as neurodiverse as hell. And I was talking to, I think it was probably my grandson, and also my daughter. We were talking about how apparently neurotypical people favor vertical/ hierarchical social arrangements. They feel more comfortable if there are people above them and people below them, and they know where they are.
#Neurodiverse people tend to favor more #horizontal social arrangements.
So I was thinking about this, and I came up with what I think is a brilliant solution: that we should #medicate the #neurotypical. [Douglas: "Exactly!!"] Because it's them causing all the problems, you know."
#AlanMoore in conversation with Douglas @rushkoff.com about #Art & #Magic.

A castle in the clouds, except the castle is a drab, grim structure with a tower. The tower has a narrow yellow window on the right side. The door of the structure is wide, with two crossed beams like a barn door. Next to the door is a small yellow sign with a red triangle on it. A dish antenna is sticking out of the roof. The castle sits on a fluffy cloud, in the middle of a blue sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A greenish ghostlike bubble floats over a dark meadow through a blue night. Vaguely visible within the bubble is a person, one arm outstretched as though steering a vehicle. In the sky is a glowing white circle that would look like a full moon if it was filled in. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The image features a close-up view of a cat with wide, expressive eyes. Brush strokes create an impressionistic effect, enhancing the focus on the feline's curious expression. This adorable and inquisitive calico kitty gazes at us with expectation ... does she know we've got a new catnip birdie toy for her? I think she does!

A blank-faced figure wearing a sizable black top hat and a dark suit glances down at a bright red snake with green spots coming out of its pocket. The figure appears surprised, but it's hard to tell what it's thinking since the only visible facial feature is a nose. The background is a light gray. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A reddish-yellow humanoid figure that looks like it is made out of modeling clay walks in a dull teal space. The figure's pose is roughly similar to a "walk" icon on a traffic signal. It is wearing a red necktie. Its head is a featureless, slightly grungy sphere floating above a flat neck. It appears to be holding a phone, although "holding" is a loose term, considering that the phone is floating in front of the end of its arm, which is smooth with no hand. The figure is casting a long dark shadow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rocky mountain peak under a gray sky. Hovering directly above the peak, fixed in a beam of white light, is a 3.5 inch floppy disk with a white red-striped label. If you grew up in the 90s, you probably still have at least one of these somewhere. Slightly farther down, approaching the hovering disk, are several people wearing robes. One of them is holding a staff. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
