Title
Portrait of Elizabeth, Lady Vaux.
Description
English: According to art historian K. T. Parker, who studied the Windsor collection, the drawing has been retouched with insensitive penwork, the wash in the headdress is clumsy, and the black chalk basis of the drawing is badly rubbed (Parker, pp. 42–43). Holbein's left-handed shading is, however, still discernible. Two paintings based on the drawing survive, neither by Holbein himself. Holbein also twice drew Lady Vaux's husband, Thomas, once with long hair and once with short.

Licensing

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, 1930.

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.
