Is this the real face of Anne Boleyn?

As the 490th anniversary of Anne Boleyn’s death approaches, new research led by the University of Bradford is challenging a long‑accepted image of the Tudor queen. Using AI‑driven facial recognition alongside historical analysis, researchers suggest a famous Holbein sketch traditionally identified as Anne Boleyn may be misattributed. The study argues that a different, long‑overlooked drawing aligns more closely with contemporary descriptions, family resemblance data and biometric evidence, reopening debate about Anne Boleyn’s true likeness.
