Description
Half-length painted portrait of a man, wearing a red tunic, a fur trimmed brocade cloak, a black cap and a jewelled collar
Comments
This is an example of the standard portrait of Henry VII, produced in large numbers throughout the 16th century. All would seem to be derived from the same original, but now lost, portrait. The works show Henry in about 1500, late in life.
