  • 1821.04.07/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Another Portrait of Henry the Eighth, (on pannel) with the head painted a three-quarter, and of a size much above life. -- This picture is of the highest interest and curiosity, as it it is not only the youngest likeness of that Monarch, after he came to the throne, viz. at the age of twenty, the date 1510 being upon the picture) but also as it exhibits him in the costume of his Father's time, differing from all other Portraits extant of Henry the Eighth, who is here represented with the neck bare, hair of the head full and without a beard, also wearing the same style of cap or bonnet as that of Henry the Seventh's -- Although this unique Portrait was got out of obscurity, and consequently its original source unknown, yet, (agreeable to the opinion of Mr. Graves, the celebrated Collector of engraved portraits), it is highly probable, from the circumstance of its being painted within a kind of nich, and of a colossal size, that it was executed for an elevated situation in some college or other public building; and from the firm and bold style of the painting, it is equally probable to have been by the hand of some Artist of the Italian or Florentine School, who might have come over to this country. -- N. B. There are several engravings of Coins and Medals of Henry the Eighth in three-quarter and profile that strongly indicate the same character of features, which are not readily discerned in the position he was always painted in by Holbein, viz. with the face completely full (artiste anonyme)|Another Portrait of Henry the Eighth, (on pannel) with the head painted a three-quarter, and of a size much above life. -- This picture is of the highest interest and curiosity, as it it is not only the youngest likeness of that Monarch, after he came to the throne, viz. at the age of twenty, the date 1510 being upon the picture) but also as it exhibits him in the costume of his Father's time, differing from all other Portraits extant of Henry the Eighth, who is here represented with the neck bare, hair of the head full and without a beard, also wearing the same style of cap or bonnet as that of Henry the Seventh's -- Although this unique Portrait was got out of obscurity, and consequently its original source unknown, yet, (agreeable to the opinion of Mr. Graves, the celebrated Collector of engraved portraits), it is highly probable, from the circumstance of its being painted within a kind of nich, and of a colossal size, that it was executed for an elevated situation in some college or other public building; and from the firm and bold style of the painting, it is equally probable to have been by the hand of some Artist of the Italian or Florentine School, who might have come over to this country. -- N.
