Description
English: Portrait of Margaret, Lady Butts. Black and coloured chalks, metalpont, pen and brush and ink on pink-primed paper, 38 × 27.2 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.

Margaret, Lady Butts, née Bacon, was the wife of Sir William Butts, physician to Henry VIII. She had served as a lady-in-waiting to Princess Mary. Holbein made this preliminary study for his oil portrait of Lady Margaret. He also painted an oil portrait of Sir William. Holbein is unsparing in his treatment of the 57-year-old's wrinkles. The drawing has been traced in metalpoint for transfer. Art historian K. T. Parker found some of the reinforcing lines coarse and considered that Holbein's work has been much retouched. This was among his last drawings. Lady Butts's date of death is not known, but she was still alive when her husband died in 1545, two years after Holbein. References

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.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
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.
