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

A Valentine's Day Wood Engraving Wednesday
REBECCA GILBERT
We mark this especially romantic Wood Engraving Wednesday with this wood engraving by Philadelphia-based artist and printmaker Rebecca Gilbert from the 2020 calendar of the Wood Engravers’ Network (WEN). Here, Gilbert reinterprets Hans Holbein's (1497–1543) woodcut "The Lady" from his well-known series The Dance of Death (Basel, 1523–26), with an English translation of the French quatrain by Gilles Corrozet (1510–1568) paired with the image in the 1538 Lyon edition, reminding us that love is only temporal, so we should rejoice while we have it. Of her work in wood, Gilbert's website notes:
These processes allow the integration of a high level of detail and the ability to work both very large (woodcut) and very small (wood engraving) simultaneously. The contrast in scale directly relates to the ways she explores ideas of perception, space, and seeing.
Our copy of the calendar is a donation of WEN member and Wisconsin resident Tony Drehfal.
