Description
English: Black and coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink, white bodycolour, on pink-primed paper,

The chalks are rubbed but the high-quality penwork is recognisable as Holbein's.[1] His extensive colour notes show that the planned oil portrait would have depicted Parr in the costly satin and white and purple velvet of the nobility. A sketch on the left details the links of a chain, including the word "MORS" (death), perhaps connected to a motto. A design at top left shows a figure, possibly representing St George and the Dragon as the motif for the hat badge.[2] William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton (1513–71), was a leading courtier under Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I, though he was out of favour under Mary I, when the government stripped him of his titles and declared his marriage illegal. Parr rose to power as the younger brother of Katharine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII.
