Assumption stated as fact

[edit]

While the black figure is portrayed at a time when the Dutch were involved in the transport and use of slaves, the statement that a slave is portrayed in the painting is conjecture rather than established fact. That the figure is black is rare and notable in itself. The identity and roles of the people in the painting are unknown so we really can't factually state what the role of the black figure actually was.2600:1700:6D90:79B0:D915:6D3A:63D8:B437 (talk) 06:26, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The cited reference refers to a "black boy" only, in Catalog nr. 102 of the Royal Academy Winter Exhibition in 1906. Now amended. William Harris • (talk) • 11:52, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
