EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Unidentified woman, court of King Henry VIII" takes us back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of the Tudor court. Created by Hans Holbein the Younger in 1812, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving beautifully captures the essence of nobility and elegance. The identity of this mysterious woman remains unknown, but she is believed to have been a member of King Henry VIII's court. Some speculate that she may be Queen Catherine Howard, one of his ill-fated wives who met a tragic end on the executioner's block in 1541. However, this attribution is not confirmed. Holbein's masterful artistry shines through in every detail of this portrait. The delicate lines and exquisite shading bring out the subject's regal features and refined expression. Her gaze holds an air of mystery and intrigue, leaving us wondering about her role within the royal circle. As we delve into history through this artwork, we are transported to a time when power struggles and political alliances shaped destinies. This engraving serves as a reminder that even those deemed insignificant by name can hold great influence behind closed doors. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for our enjoyment today. It allows us to appreciate not only Holbein's talent but also gain insight into an era filled with drama and grandeur.
