News from Hampton Court (spotted via. @AaronManning) that a portrait of William III with a Black Page has been redisplayed in the King's Apartments there. Having spent several decades in storage, the painting is now accompanied by some new interpretation investigating Slavery and the House of Orange. The portrait is currently catalogued as 'Attributed to French School, 17th Century', in case anyone might want to have a go at improving on this attribution (as it happens I can't, alas).
