Following Queen Isabella's death (1504), he travelled to several northern European countries, including Burgundy. Here he met probably painted this portrait.

Reason: Good scan, fascinating portrait.

Support, agree with Crisco 1492 that this is a high quality scan of a picture of high encyclopedic value. — Cirt (talk) 03:10, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support & Comment - Not to be difficult, but the image linked to the FPC was not actually used in either article (a different version was used). I just changed the lower file size versions existing in the articles with this image... Crisco 1492, Sca, Cirt, Hafspajen, please make sure I have not made a mistake...--Godot13 (talk) 04:09, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be some trouble navigating to this FPC subpage from the main FPC page. You only get the first part of the parentheses in the link, and it leads to a broken page. Just FYI, — Cirt (talk) 04:10, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
