EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of Anne of Cleves, engraved by Jacobus Houbraken in 1740. The engraving is based on a painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most renowned artists of his time. Anne of Cleves, depicted here in an oval frame, was the fourth wife of King Henry VIII. Her marriage to the infamous king lasted only six months but left a lasting impact on history. Known for her beauty and grace, Anne's image has been immortalized through this exquisite artwork. The engraving captures Anne's regal presence with remarkable attention to detail. She is portrayed in half length, wearing a stunning Tudor costume adorned with intricate patterns and delicate lace. A veil gracefully drapes over her head while she dons an elegant bonnet or hat. A charming putto can be seen at the bottom corner of the portrait, adding a touch of whimsy to this royal depiction. The overall composition exudes elegance and sophistication that were characteristic of Renaissance art. This print allows us to appreciate not only Anne's beauty but also the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces during that era. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to delve into the fascinating stories behind historical figures like Queen Anne herself.
