A Holbein sitter identified?

October 15 2012

Conservation of a Holbein in the Royal Collection has revealed more clues about the identity of the sitter. I'll try and get more images, like x-rays, from the Royal Collection. But I'm a bit pushed for time today, so for now, find the basic story here. 

Update - see more images and the x-ray here.

Update II - find further details here at the NPG, and watch a talk by Royal Collection curator Clare Chorley here.
