Summary[edit]

Description

Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8–1543) Portrait of an Englishwoman (about 1532–5) Lent by The British Museum, London Black and red chalk, white bodycolour, black ink with brush on pink prepared paper; silhouetted 276 x 192 mm enlarge this imageenlarge this image The subject of this drawing wears a large bonnet over a closer fitting cap; the pin attaching it is clearly visible. Her costume resembles that worn by those of more modest social status, rather than courtiers of the nobility.

The direction of this sitter’s gaze and the way in which her head is turned further than her body suggests that her portrait might have been paired with that of a husband. The drawing has been cut out and stuck to another sheet of paper, evidently by a later collector.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1543, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
