Summary edit

Description
English: Portrait study of Mary, Duchess of Richmond and Somerset. Black and coloured chalks, ink with brush on pink-primed paper, 26.7 × 20.1 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.

Mary FitzRoy, Duchess of Richmond and Somerset (1519–1557), was a daughter of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and a sister of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, both of whose portraits Holbein painted. In 1533, she married Henry VIII's illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, who died in 1536. This drawing is a raw example of Holbein's preliminary notation style for an oil portrait; it includes alternative designs of the hat and lettering, as well as indications that the dress is to be of red and black velvet edged with gold.

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

The author died in 1543, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
