Henry VIII (1491-1547)
Note that the work cited here is only a possible match/version of the seventeenth-century record. If the Thyssen portrait is to be matched with the record, it must have been somewhat cut down. Holbein's Thyssen portrait would have been of a high quality in comparison with the rest of this Privy Gallery set
