Summary

Description
English: Portrait of Mary, Lady Heveningham. Coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink, wash, white bodycolour, 30.3 × 21.1 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.

This drawing has been reworked by other hands than Holbein's. Art historian K. T. Parker called the black fall of the headdress "daubed over" (Parker, p.46). The drawing has also been heavily rubbed. Parker detected Holbein's remaining strokes in the outline of the décolletage and in the sleeves. The sitter has been speculated as the same as that in Holbein's English Lady at Winterthur, but the connection is doubtful. Lady Heveningham's identity is not certain: she has been thought to be either Mary Shelton (d. c. 1570), daughter of Sir John Shelton and second wife of Sir Anthony Heveningham, or Anthony Heveningham's mother, who was also a member of the Shelton family. The inscription, added later, is not necessarily reliable.

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, 1929.

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.
