London—The depiction of anenslaved Black childknown as “Jersey” by celebrated 18th-centuryportrait painterJoshua Reynolds has long puzzled art historians, raising questions about the boy’s identity and life — and whether or not he was even real.Now, researchers in London say they finally have some answers — after scouring British government archives, original letters, ship captains’ logs and documents relating to crew members, according to the UK’s National Trust. The conservation charity carried out the research in collaboration with London’s National Gallery and the Royal Museums Greenwich.The Ourry and Jersey portrait after conservationNational Trust ImagesIn the painting, completed around 1748, the smartly-dressed boy — wearing a navy-blue coat, red waistcoat, an embroidered white turban and pearl earrings — is gazing up at young Royal Navy lieutenant, Paul Henry Ourry, who later became a captain.Artists in the 18th century would often include a person of color, who would sometimes be imaginary, in their portraits of wealthy white sitters to embellish the painting and highlight the high status of the main subject, according to the researchers.So, “as tropes, we can’t always be sure that the person of color, the Black sitter, is a real person,” Zoe Shearman, a property curator at the National Trust’s Saltram estate in the southwestern English city of Plymouth, told CNN on Friday. “So it’s really important to just begin this process of trying to evidence that, to forefront those stories.”Within the archives, the researchers discovered various details relating to the boy’s name, including that “Jersey” was his surname and even a nickname that might have replaced a former name, the National Trust said in a statement Friday.His full name is recorded as “Boston Jersey” in a crew record book, historical geographer Mark Brayshay, an emeritus professor at the UK’s University of Plymouth and a volunteer researcher at Saltram, said in the statement.Boston Jersey's baptism
