Description |
English: Portrait of Jane Seymour. Black and coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink, metalpoint, on pink-primed paper, 50.3 × 28.7 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.
The portrait matches the depiction of Jane in Holbein's Whitehall wall-painting, which now survives only in a copy by Remigius van Leemput. It was also used as the preparatory study for Holbein's oil portrait of Jane. The drawing suffers from rubbing, as a result of repeated handling. The metalpoint lines are signs of its use as the basis for the replicas required of a royal image. Jane Seymour (1508–1537) was Henry VIII of England's third wife. Henry married her in 1536, shortly after the execution of Anne Boleyn, and she died the following year, twelve days after giving birth to Henry's son and heir, the future Edward VI. As Henry wished, he was buried with Jane at Windsor Castle, the location of Holbein's sketch for the original painting. References
