Portret van Katherine Howard 1630 - 1677

This engraved portrait of Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII, was created by Adriaen Lommelin between 1630 and 1677. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Howard as a young woman with flowing hair and a pearl necklace. The inscription on the portrait identifies her as the "beloved wife" of the "noble Duke of Suffolk". Lommelin's work showcases the detailed style of engravings popular in the 17th century. This print serves as a historical record and artistic representation of this significant figure from English history.
