Summary

Author
The source claims that this portrait is by Hans Holbein the Younger (d. 1543), but this is not supported by Holbein scholarship.
Description
Portrait of Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford and 1st Duke of Somerset, c. 1500 – executed 1552, located at Weston Park, Trustees of the Weston Park Foundation, Brother of Jane Seymour, uncle to Edward VI. Lord Protector in Edward's reign until he fell from favor and was executed.
Date circa 1540s
date QS:P571,+1540-00-00T00:00:00Z/8
Notes Art historian Roy Strong has discounted the identification of this portrait as of Somerset. On the other hand, he supports Image:Edward Seymour.jpg as authentically him. It also appears that though Holbein is recorded as portraying Seymour, this work is not by Holbein: it has not appeared in scholarly books or exhibitions of Holbein's work.
