The Coronation of King James II at Holyrood, (25 March 1437) William Brassey Hole (1846–1917)
It is certain — by examination of the heraldic dress — that the woman in the center is dowager queen Joan Beaufort, who at the time was regent to her son.

TUDOR WEEK 2022 DAY 1 FAVORITE PORTRAIT OF TUDOR FAMILY MEMBER(S) → ANNE OF CLEVES Portrait was painted by Hans Holbein the Younger in 1539. Oil and tempura on parchment mounted on canvas. Current home: Musée du Louvre, Paris. This is my favorite not only because of Anne’s beautiful dress or her Stickelchen Cap, but because unlike a majority of Tudor portraits at this time, Anne has a faint smile.
