Holbein Part 12

Chalk Drawing. Windsor Castle.

(The Miniature at Windsor Castle, formerly said to be Holbein's portrait of Catherine Parr, is now said to be Catherine Howard. If so, it is somewhat difficult to reconcile it with the drawing, which latter seems much more in keeping with the descriptions of her traits.)

REFERENCES

The Literature of Holbein's Life, much more of his Works, is far too extensive to admit of a Bibliography in a volume of this sort.
