Anne Boleyn

Found this labeled as Anne-- I find that suspicious, first--the ruff she wears is plainly in the style of the later 1500s, when her daughter Elizabeth was queen, and secondly, her face looks too different to be in fact the personage it is labeled as.

Clearly not a contemporary portrait.  I have seen this one before though..

Its quite lovely but we have discussed this portrait on these boards somewhere.
it was painted by Frans Pourbus

Excellent new book about the cultural history of Anne Boleyn
