Scientists are using facial recognition tech—same as your phone’s unlock feature—to crack a centuries-old art mystery: Is this sketch really Anne Boleyn? The drawing bears an inscription claiming to show her, but historians doubt it, since she was dark-haired and slender, while the sketch shows a blonde, heavier woman. Researchers compared it to a known portrait of Anne’s daughter, Elizabeth I, and the algorithm found the resemblance more like grandmother to granddaughter—suggesting the sketch might actually depict Anne’s mother, Elizabeth Howard. This theory fits: the woman’s simple clothing and the mother’s known illness at the time align with the drawing’s details. While this tech offers a thrilling new way to solve historical puzzles, experts caution it’s still evolving and needs more art data to be truly reliable.
