Notes Holbein drew this portrait during his first visit to England (1526–28). It is a study for his oil portrait of Lady Mary, which is closely based on the drawing but more solemn. At the same time, Holbein drew a study of her husband, Sir Henry Guildford, for an oil portrait of him. The drawing of Lady Mary is larger than that of Sir Henry, which has been cut down. The fact that Holbein took this one back with him to Basel shows that such drawings were not usually demanded by his patrons. Guildford was the treasurer to Henry VIII from 1522, and Mary Wotton was his second wife.
