It is certainly a very interesting picture A.B. It seems to have a softer look to it, than Holbiens portrait, I am not over keen on Holbien’s portraits to be honest, they seem to me at least to be almost brutal (for want of a better word) in appearence.
Thank you for uploading it. Xx

Susan Lipscombe made a very funny remark concerning the larger than life portrait that Holbien painted of Henry. It’s not something I had actually noticed until she pointed it out. The whole portrait is based on triangles, and the point of the triangles seem to converge on Henry’s over large Codpiece.
That is perhaps difficult to understand, but if you take the time to look at that portrait you will see exactly what she meant.
