Ayuba Suleiman Diallo

National Portrait Gallery London. Hoare's sensitive portrait is the earliest known British oil portrait of a freed slave and the first portrait to honour an African subject as an individual and an equal. The portrait provides a fascinating insight into the eighteenth-century English response to other peoples and religions.
