A 19th-century family portrait that was altered to cover up an enslaved teenager has been recently restored to its original version.
The rare Jacques Guillaume Lucien Amans attributed work from 1837, titled “Bélizaire and the Frey Children,” depicts the three kids of wealthy New Orleans French Quarter banker Frederick Frey alongside 15-year-old Bélizaire — whom the family reportedly purchased as a six-year-old boy.
A rare portrait featuring an enslaved teenager has been in hiding for over fifty years. It’s finally been restored to the original work.
