H Beard Print Collection is a 1681 by Hans Holbein, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII. It’s by Holbein the Younger, who made many portraits of Tudor royals. The work is a print, not a painting—so it’s ink on paper, not paint. Holbein drew her while she was alive, around the 1530s, but this version was printed later, about 1681. The print is part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints from this time.
The print depicts Anne Boleyn within an oval frame bearing the inscription "Anna Bullen Regina Angliæ Elizabethæ Reginæ Mater."
