""Recent advances in computer vision and deep learning have enabled facial recognition systems to achieve human-level or super-human performance in identifying individuals. Biometric analysis offers quantifiable evidence to evaluate competing attribution hypotheses, which is of particular value when scholars acknowledge uncertainty about sitters' identifications.""
""The drawing, by contrast, offers a blonde woman of a more substantial build with a double chin, which does not align with descriptions of Anne Boleyn as a dark-haired woman with a little neck.""
A study utilizing A.I. has re-evaluated Holbein's portraits, revealing that a drawing long thought to be Anne Boleyn may depict her mother, Elizabeth Howard. The research employed a model from the University of Bradford, capable of analyzing bone structure and geometric features. This model previously identified a forgotten Raphael painting and has now provided insights into two figures from Holbein's collection. The findings highlight the potential of biometric analysis in resolving historical uncertainties regarding sitter identifications.
