'Portrait of an English Woman', c1535. She is drawn in red and black chalk with touches of bodycolour to highlight her features. Holbein used the point of a brush with black ink to reinforce the edge of her cap and facial features. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are particularly delicate. It is likely that she was a lady at the English court of Henry VIII. The original paper was prepared with a soft pink ground, which suggests her flesh tones. However, at some stage the drawing was cut out from its original paper and laid down on another sheet so that the figure is now silhouetted.
