Unknown lady from Kunsthistorisches Museum-who is this?

Little while ago I found on Mutualart.com 19th century portrait of unknown lady, labelled as in manner of Hans Holbein the elder. Clearly it is in manner of Hans Holbein the Younger and the outfit became of immediate interest to me, due to colour of the dress and undersleeves-which are in purple/violet.

Also the medailon appear to show a bird, which two of Henry VIII’s wives had as emblem.  But clearly this is 19th century copy, so I had to first find the original(and hope it still existists). Luckily it was on Pinterest and I know now it is located Kunstishhistorie Museum in Wienna, which also has famous portrait of Jane Seymour. (But being located within same collection doesn’t prove it is same sitter and the medalion doesn’t show bird, but religuous scene.)

On their webpage it looks like this:

But who is she? And is this purple gown also? Because if it is, we’re looking at unidentified portrait of Tudor royal! 

And I have to warn you. The colours within the painting might not be as they should. 1st of all, I’ve seen how portrait of Jane Seymour looks on their webpage, and they use filter which reveals details rather well, but also gives entire painting completely different hues and somehow succeseeds in making her grey eyes turn into vivid green! 

It doesn’t seem to be case with this one. Still I cannot be certain of it.

Another issue is that the undersleeves clearly are supposed to depict crimson velvet(on right is how it is supposed to look):

The colours are very washout and entire painting is very dark.

Gown currently has this shade, but what was the original colour I can only speculate.

There are more photos of the painting online, and the shade of gowns, imo goes to dim purplish tones:

Especially this one:

But you might disaagree and think it is just wishful thinking. Perhaps it is.Problem is there is no real way to check conclusively if the gown is purple. Or rather what Tudor people would consider purple.

I am preparing post about purple dye and there were many types sea snails used to dye fabrics, and results varied greatly even at same cities.

Colours went from bright blue! Or dark violet. Or to dark or bright red, to pink! To light lilac or to dark deep purple! Or to dim colours. Really wide spectrum of colours and shades, all done by using sea snails! And majority was then called purple! Or one of their names included word purple.  

So i cannot dismiss this colour because it is not the purple you imagine! 

Perhaps I am wrong and it isn’t supposed to be purple.

However if I am right, then who the heck is the sitter?!

During Henry VIII’s reign there were several Acts of Apparel(sumptuary laws were passed in 1510, 1514, 1515, 1533.

One specifically said that only the King and his immediate family (the Queen, the King’s mother, King’s children) the King’s brothers and sisters could wear cloth of purple silk. (and presumably anything dyed purple, even if it was from other materials.)

Elizabeth of York was dead, as was prince Arthur.

Margaret Tudor never visited England while Holbein was there and as far as I know there is no record of him being in Scotland.

While I’d love to exclude Mary I immediately on account of having strawberry blond hair into golden, rather to red, I cannot exclude possibility that just as hair of Elizabeth I, her hair changed the shading as she aged. 

(But as child she was golden strawberry blond and as adult she was too.)

But I think Mary had longer forehead, but i cannot be certain:

While Mary was young in 1530s, she also had health issues already. And if this was made just after she recovered from illness, she could look much older than when fully recovered.

Given the style of French hood, we’re looking at 1538+.

So that excludes also Mary Rose, Queen of France(Henry’s sister), she died in 1533 and would never wear such style. 

Anne Boleyn’s french hood had different style (I am preparing posts about it), Jane didn’t like French hoods(so it is highly unlikely to be her) and even forbade her ladies from wearing them while at her service, and they made comeback only after she died(jumping Anne’s style immediately to one we consider 1540s). She died in late 1537. Hence 1538+ dating. 

Elizabeth is simply too young to be the sitter. The sitter is definitely older than child she was in late 1530s/early 1540s.

...

Who are we left with? (In 1538+ timeframe)

Princess Mary(future Mary I) and last 3 of Henry VIII’s wives:

(Holbein died in October/November 1543, Catherine Parr became Queen in July 1543, so he had chance to paint her!)

Which is nightmare scenario for me. 

Henry’s type was his mum, and all his wives resembled her to degree. They had similiar features( and Mary resembled her grandmother a bit too).

It’s not really that easy to tell Henry’s wives apart, ideally you’d look at the fashion to tell them apart. But in this case you can’t, because it is bound to look alike. It’s too close together.

By the way Anne of Cleves was by Henry VIII treated as his sister fallowing annulment of their marriage, so she could wear purple.

But for some reason the style seems to me purely english. Except I don’t recall any other english painting where we would have parlet black on both inside and outside. I give up. I admit defeat. I don’t know who it is nor indeed if the gown is purple. All the research proved inconclusive.

So let me know what you think about the matter. Am I chasing ghosts or am I upon something? I hope you’ve enjoyed it.

I am obsessed with these bottle/amphora pearls that Elizabeth and Jane Seymour sport

Portrait of Elizabeth I wenn still a princess, attributed to William Scrots. It was painted for her father in c. 1546.

Jane Seymour (details, 1536) Hans Holbein the Younger

Does anyone know anything about these?

Where they like a thing?

Where they symbolic for anything?

I have only once seen something like that in real live

Is there a term for these?

Do they have a special name?

I have so many questions
