Hans Holbein the Younger - Lady Borough RL 12193

description

Summary

Portrait of Lady, inscribed "The Lady Burow". Black and coloured chalks on pink-primed paper, 27.3 × 19.8 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. The drawing has suffered from considerable rubbing; the outline of the face on the right and of the eyes has been lightly worked over by a later hand.

The inscription, added at a later date, may not be accurate. Attempts by scholars to establish who "Lady Burow" (perhaps Borough or Burgh) was have not, in the opinion of art historian K. T. Parker, been convincing (Parker, pp. 47–48).

Hans Holbein the Younger was a German painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design.
