A little celebratory painting in honor of Anne of Cleves' Hans Holbein portrait being cleaned

People often were not completely static sitters for their artists. They were also often played music, read to, and spoken with to help pass the time. Anne of Cleves, like many women of the era, was a fine sewist, but she may have also whiled the hours away practicing English for her prospective new husband or being taught court etiquette.

William Kay Blacklock's "The Lesson" was somewhat referenced for proper hand anatomy, as the main reference for this was the Hans Holbein portrait itself. Blacklock actually had two very similar paintings, which would have been even more useful to me had I discovered it earlier. The Second is "The Window."

Edit: Better photo

I was in the mood to draw an actual person and out of all the official/most famous paintings of Henry VIII's wives, I like Anne of Cleves' portrait the best, so I decided to draw that. This was a lot of fun! 20 min doodle, pen on plain white paper.

Edit - The rest of the wives have been done. Part 1 and Part 2.

Portrait of Anne of Cleves, Hans Holbein the Younger

1539

Lourve Museum, Paris

Holbein was sent to paint her at Düren in summer 1539, so that Henry could appraise her as a possible wife. Holbein posed Anne square-on and in elaborate finery.  Henry was disappointed with her in the flesh, and he divorced her after a brief, unconsummated marriage. He redesignated Anne as "king's sister", and she remained in England, where she died during the reign of Queen Mary

The use of parchment suggests that Holbein painted, or at least began, the portrait in Düren. A miniature version in the Victoria and Albert Museum was probably painted at the same time. Holbein also produced a portrait of Anne's sister, Amelia, which is now lost. Nicholas Wotton, the head of the English delegation, reported to Henry: "Your Grace's servant Hanze Albein hathe taken th'effigies of my lady Anne and the lady Amelye and hath expressed theyr images very lyvely". The tradition that Holbein flattered Anne is not borne out by the evidence: no one except Henry ever described her as repugnant.

Anne Boleyn saying "maybe he just really liked my head" is so iconic I don't think u understand

random thought bc I've been listening to Six on repeat: the queens claim that the only reason they're remembered is because of Henry, but would Henry be one of the most iconic and well-known English monarchs if not for them?

#like his defining trait is sorta 'bloke who had six wives who he treated pretty badly all told' plus the whole church of england thing #which arguably would have happened anyway in some sense since protestantism was sweeping europe but is generally credited to him wanting #a divorce whether thats accurate or not #yes he was quite charismatic etc but there were plenty of others who were too or at least interesting #like nobody talks about the guy who was Probably murdered in a framed hunting accident #or the one who was executed by having a red hot poker rammed up his arse #or the one who dies after gorging himself on strawberries and eel pie iirc #ok fine maybe i only remember the memorable daeths but you get the point #the six wives are what made henry viii significant is what i'm saying #via shitposts #six #six the musical #tudors #tudor queens #catherine of aragon #anne boleyn #jane seymour #anne of cleves #katherine howard #catherine parr #henry viii
