Title
Portrait of a Lady, called Anne Boleyn
Description
English: The association of this drawing with Anne Boleyn goes back to Wenceslas Hollar's etching after it in 1649. The inscription on the print reads ANNA BULLEN REGINA ANGLIÆ|HENRICI VIIIui Vxor 2da Elizabeth Regine|Mater, fuit decollata, Londini 19 May 1536 (Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, 2nd wife of Henry VIII, mother of Queen Elizabeth, was beheaded in London on 19 May 1536). It is not known whether the inscription on the etching was taken from the drawing or vice versa. The inscription on the drawing (left of neck) dates from the 17th century and reads Anna Bullen de collata|Fuit Londini 19 May 1536.The identification may have been based on a superficial similarity with some of the late-Elizabethan hack images of Anne. Anne's biographer Eric Ives believes that neither this nor Holbein's drawing in the Royal Collection of a different woman inscribed "Anna Bollein Queen" are of Anne. No certain contemporary likeness of Anne is known, other than a damaged lead portrait medal.
Date between circa 1532 and circa 1535

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.
