| Notes |
English: Black chalk, red chalk, brown chalk, yellow chalk, pen and ink, metalpoint, pale pink prepared paper. The drawing is inscribed, by a later hand than Holbein's, "The Lady Audley". There were two ladies called Elizabeth, Lady Audley. One was the daughter of Sir Brian Tuke, whom Holbein also painted; but she did not become Lady Audley until 1557. The more likely sitter is Elizabeth Grey (d. 1564), who married Lord Audley of Walden in 1538. This study was used for Holbein's miniature portrait of the same sitter, probably scaled down with compasses (Foister, p. 106). |
