DescriptionEdward Prince of Wales, attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg
English: Possible portrait of Edward, Prince of Wales. Black and coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink on pink-primed paper, 27.5 × 22.9 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.
The drawing is in bad condition, with a long diagonal tear on the left, touching the hair, and has been rubbed and retouched. According to art historian K. T. Parker, traces of Holbein's left-handed shading may be seen in the hat and coat, but the penwork and hair are low quality, probably reworked at a later date. Not all scholars accept the attribution to Holbein (Roy Strong, Tudor and Jacobean Portraits, London: HMSO, 1969, p. 92).
It is also not certain that the sitter is Prince Edward, the future Edward VI (the inscription was added at a later date). If it is him, he would be five or six years old (Parker, pp.55–56).
Date
1542/43 if the sitter is Prince Edward; otherwise 1532–43.
