This is a portrait of Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, drawn in black chalk, red chalk and white lead on paper by Hans Holbein the Younger, a renowned German painter and draughtsman of the 16th century. The portrait is a profile view of Anne, showing her in a simple white headdress and gown with a delicate, almost melancholic expression, capturing her elegance and poise, a defining characteristic of Holbein's style. The subtle shading and delicate lines of the drawing create a striking resemblance to Anne Boleyn, making it one of the most treasured portraits of the Queen.
