Description
English: Portrait of Jane Seymour. Black and coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink, metalpoint, on pink-primed paper, 50.3 × 28.7 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.

The portrait matches the depiction of Jane in Holbein's Whitehall wall-painting, which now survives only in a copy by Remigius van Leemput. It was also used as the preparatory study for Holbein's oil portrait of Jane. The drawing suffers from rubbing, as a result of repeated handling. The metalpoint lines are signs of its use as the basis for the replicas required of a royal image. Jane Seymour (1508–1537) was Henry VIII of England's third wife. Henry married her in 1536, shortly after the execution of Anne Boleyn, and she died the following year, twelve days after giving birth to Henry's son and heir, the future Edward VI. As Henry wished, he was buried with Jane at Windsor Castle, the location of Holbein's sketch for the original painting. References

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1543, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
