Summary[edit]

Description
English: Portrait of Margaret, Marchioness of Dorset. Black and coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink, metalpoint, on pink-primed paper, 33.3 × 23.8 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. The drawing has been almost entirely ruined by rubbing, damage during transfer to panel, and reworking by other hands. The foundation drawing is virtually erased, but traces of left-handed shading in the headdress identify it as originally a Holbein (Parker, p. 43). The sitter was once misidentified as Frances Grey, Marchioness of Dorset, the mother of Lady Jane Grey. In fact she is Frances Grey's mother-in-law, Margaret Grey, née Wotton, the second wife of Thomas Grey, 2nd Marquess of Dorset,whom she married in 1509. She died in 1535 (Parker, p. 43).
Date 1532–35

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.
