 c.1520 The Somerley Portrait Formerly attributed to Luca Penni Collection of the Earl of Normanton Somerley, Hampshire formerly identified as Lady Jane Grey but too early or possibly Catherine Parr but could it be Anne Boleyn? |  17th Century |
 The Nidd Hall portrait shows a woman similar to Holbein’s Jane Seymour but with an AB brooch has been identified as “The Most Excellent Princesse Anne Boleyn” but Roland Hui argues that her likeness has been derived from Henry VIII’s third wife, Jane Seymour. He notes that a variant of this portrait, an engraving by Renold Elstrack, showed the sitter with a squared jeweled tablet rather than an AB brooch, and that “the facial features found in the engraving and in the Nidd Hall picture are actually more in line with the Whitehall Jane’s than those of the NPG Anne.” | Compare these portraits below of Jane Seymour with the Nidd Hall Portrait on the left.  |

I still believe the Nidd Hall portrait to be a contemporary of Anne Boleyn in her final years. Allison Weir alludes to to stress, which would fit with the final descriptions of Anne, as she had losing her beauty and becoming thin. But Allison isn't always the best source. There is an exceptional similarity between the portrait and the medal of Anne Boleyn, especially in the clothing and gable hood. As for the nose, Jane's nose is more straight, wider, and does not have a very rounded curve at her tip as the Nidd Portrait does and as does the NPG portrait of Anne Boleyn. And Jane's nose in the Whitehall copy curves down and out as opposed to the inward bridge of the Nidd Portrait. The eyebrows are also darker, longer, and slightly thicker than Jane's, however fit well with the NPG portrait of Anne. The eyes are also brown as opposed to light blue. The lips also favor Anne Boleyn; Jane has a very thin upper lip, her bottom lip reaches the corners and does not purse into a small smile/smirk as the lips in the Nidd and NPG portrait's do. I'd argue that the lips in the NPG and Nidd portrait are near identical. The portrait could be based off Jane Seymour by Holbein, but there many similaraties between the Nidd Hall portrait and the NPG and also the medal of Anne Boleyn. So much so that *I* believe it to be AB as opposed to JS or even based on JS. Hui brings up the engraving that could be the inspiration for the portrait and so on, but the Nidd Hall portrait is generally given to the 16th century, while the the Whitehall portrait is a 17th century copy of the original. Just some thoughts of mine, nothing definate. |

There is uite much portraits of Anne, but much of them are just how Anne possibly could look like, not like she really did.Which one of existing portraits of Anne do you like to most? I like two of them.
1. http://savetheassistants.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/anne-boleyn.jpg Comes from 16th century, I like it because Anne is really pretty and mysterious here. 2.http://www.earlywomenmasters.net/cds/elizabeth/images/anne_boleyn_detail.jpg Sketch by Hans Holbein, the Younger, so I guess that she could look like this. And yours? |
