There's a Holbein in my fridge!

Well, not quite. But I was delighted to see the above c.1540s portrait of Henry VIII on the back of an Innocent Smoothie carton in my fridge yesterday. The portrait, based on Holbein's lost 1537 mural, was found by us in a minor US auction, where it was thought to be a much later copy. The image was licensed by the Bridgeman Art Library, the place to go if you too want to advertise your product with a piece of English art.
