Description

Recent research has raised the possibility it might actually be Mary Tudor, the youngest sister of King Henry VIII.

At 43.25” x 31.25”, the painting is much larger than the original. The grand scale makes an imposing statement and suits the subject — bringing the details of skin, hair, fabric, gold and jewels to life.

Oil on canvas, unsigned. Impeccable technique and a studied understanding of the renaissance original make this painting a modern treasure for generations to come. less
