Summary
[edit]DescriptionHenry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1) by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg |
English: Portrait of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey. Black and coloured chalks, reinforced with pen and Indian ink, on pink-primed paper, 29 × 21 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. The inscription, added later, is false.
This drawing has been much restored. Art historian K. T. Parker remarked: "Though very much rubbed and injured by retouching, the drawing seems originally to have been genuine. With what a lack of understanding the restorer went to work is shown by the hair which has now the appearance of being covered by a kerchief" (K. T. Parker, The Drawings of Hans Holbein at Windsor Castle, Oxford: Phaidon, 1945, OCLC 822974, p. 43). Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1517–47) was a poet and art lover who enjoyed sitting for portraits. Another drawing of him by Holbein survives, as well as an oil portrait. Howard was executed in 1547, convicted of inappropriately using the Royal Arms of England. The arms are seen in a portrait of him by William Scrots. |
