Description

Portrait Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger. Oil on panel, 34.3 × 33 cm, National Portrait Gallery, London. The picture has mostly been repainted by later hands.

This portrait by an unknown artist may be derived from the profile portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger of Wyatt's father, Sir Thomas Wyatt. A woodcut version of Holbein's portrait of his father is known, in addition to oil copies by other hands, such as this one, showing the same medallic profile composition.

Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger (c. 1521–54) was a friend of the poet Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey and served in Boulogne, 1543–44. He led the rebellion known as Wyatt's Rebellion in Kent in 1554 against Queen Mary, for which he was executed the same year.

While Commons policy accepts the use of this media,

one or more third parties have made copyright claims against Wikimedia Commons in relation to the work from which this is sourced or a purely mechanical reproduction thereof. This may be due to recognition of the "sweat of the brow" doctrine, allowing works to be eligible for protection through skill and labour, and not purely by originality as is the case in the United States (where this website is hosted). These claims may or may not be valid in all jurisdictions. As such, use of this image in the jurisdiction of the claimant or other countries may be regarded as copyright infringement.

Other versions

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

This UK artistic or literary work, of which the author is unknown and cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry, is in the public domain because it is one of the following:

A photograph, which has never previously been made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) and which was taken more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or

A photograph, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or

An artistic work other than a photograph (e.g. a painting), or a literary work, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954).

This tag can be used only when the author cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry. If you wish to rely on it, please specify in the image description the research you have carried out to find who the author was. The above is all subject to any overriding publication right which may exist. In practice, publication right will often override the first of the bullet points listed.

Unpublished anonymous paintings remain in copyright until at least 1 January 2040. This tag does not apply to engravings or musical works. More information

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
