I can put this one firmly to bed for you as I know the house and the owner. It is a portrait of Anne painted within the last twenty years based on evidence available. If you want a close up of any of it and you can’t get it from here let me know. It is still worth a visit as it is an awesome piece of work and there are many more there as well.

Hi Jennifer, This image was found on another Tudor website that was closing and is a photo of the portrait from Ludlow Castle Lodge, Ludlow, Shropshire, and unfortunately it does show the reflection of the photographer's camera flash. It is a lovely portrait however old amd accurate it is. Thanks so much for your comment and I'm glad you like the site. We also have a wiki site where people can add portraits, photos, YouTube videos etc. at http://theanneboleynfiles.wetpaint.com/.

Oh and I apologize, me again.. But I just looked over the picture again and it seems that the glare coming off of the piece is from a camera flash. I really dont know if that means anything, but I just thought I would share my thoughts.

I just wanted to comment on this photo of Anne Boleyn. If you goon the Tudor’s website (tv show series) this picture will be there. I have been researching for the past hour and just came across your site. Beautiful might I add. But they have MANY pictures of Anne. Not quite sure they are all authentic but I found the site quite exciing. Hope that helped.. – Jennifer

Figuring out when a painting was done depends on many things, so an art historian or an art restorer can tell the age by the pigments used in the paint, the material used to paint the picture on, and even how the varnish and paints have changed over time. Art restoration is a science and you need to know the chemicals used and the affects of aging to see when a portrait was done. I use to work at the L.A. County Museum of Art and was an art history major. If I had better math skills, I would have loved to work in art restoration.

There is so much symbolism in this photo, isn’t there?! And yes, I think the apple and the slightly curved stomach may well be pointing towards pregnancy. Thanks, Kelly!

Jut a random thought here, even if it is a fake, if Anne is pregnant in this picture could the apple be symbolism of that. I think i read somehere that Anne claimed she had a cravng for apples at the beginning of her pregnancy?

Hi Ashley,
Anne’s crest, the falcon, is scratched on a wall at the Tower of London, along with other Tudor grafitti, and is thought to have been scratched by one of her supporters when she was imprisoned or executed. You can see it in the video at http://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/natalie-dormer-finds-out-more-about-anne-boleyn/843/
It is very sad that Henry and her enemies did such a good job of destroying her things.
