English: The sitter has been speculatively identified with Agnes Widmerpole, the wife of John Godsalve, and with Mary, Lady Heveningham, who looks somewhat similar in Holbein's possible drawing of her. Art historian John Rowlands, however, does not believe these identifications are convincing. The portrait is damaged and has been much overpainted by other hands, particularly around the neck. However, Holbein's fine work is clear in the material of the sleeves and in the agate brooch.
