Detail View of Catherine HowardDetail of Catherine Howard, a miniature attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, c. 1540-1. Vellum mounted on playing card, diameter 5,1 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor. The book I took this from calls her Catherine Howard, as do other sources, including Roy Strong in ATC. There are some sources that disagree and call the image Portrait of an Unknown Lady. Note the lack of jewels or ouches on the edge of her fore sleeves, yet the puff can still be seen. Also note the lack of a ring on her middle finger, while rings are on the other visible fingers. Image from the book Henry VIII and His Court, by Neville Williams (1971). Page #200. The MacMillan Company, New York, N.Y. USA, Second Printing. |
