File talk:Portrait of Unknown Gentleman from Fraunces Tavern.jpg
File should be renamed[edit]
This oil-on-canvas portrait, long identified as depicting en:Samuel Fraunces and exhibited at en:Fraunces Tavern since 1913, was recently discredited by new evidence. In 2017 German historian Arthur Kuhle recognized the sitter in Fraunces Tavern's portrait as being the same as the unidentified sitter in a portrait titled Cavalier at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden in Dresden, Germany. Kuhle was researching Frederick the Great and his court painters, Antoine Pesne and Joachim Martin Falbe. He suspects that the Fraunces Tavern portrait and the Dresden portrait depict a member of the Prussian king's royal court.[1]
