Description
English: Portrait of Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. Black and coloured chalks on pink-primed paper, 24.2 × 19.2 cm. Louvre, Paris. The drawing has been cut down. Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton (c.1536–50), was Clerk to the Signet by 1530 and close to Thomas Cromwell, the head of Henry VIII's government. He rose to become Lord Chancellor and was made an earl in 1547. In 1549/50, after the fall of Edward Seymour, Lord Protector Somerset, he made a bid to replace him but was outmanoeuvred by John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland, and banished from the Privy Council. The paintings based on this drawing (see "Other versions" below), including the fine miniature at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, are not by Holbein (John Rowlands, Holbein: The Paintings of Hans Holbein the Younger, Boston: David R. Godine, 1985, ISBN 0879235780, p. 239).
Date c. 1536-40
