I was searching for images of Anne on Google and came across this website with 2 portraits of her.
I have never seen either of these portraits, just wondered if anyone else had and what you think of them?
Here is the link for the website, you will have to type Anne Boleyn into the basic search box:-

I've seen these two portraits somewhere, but can't remember. I am racking my brain for the source.
I like the Anglo-Flemish School's portarit. It brings out Anne's beautiful eyes.
The English School is a rather poor interpretation of any Anne portrait. The body is huge and the head small. It has nothing of the appeal of the NPG painting.

I've seen the first one floating around the internet before but not the second one.
They have quit a few of Henry VIII I've never seen before too.

The Anglo-Flemish Anne portrait is on the cover of Paul Friedmann's biography on Anne (at least on amazonUK).

I think I've seen both but not quite sure where… I'm not keen on the second one, it really doesn't intrigue me like most of the others.

According to my info, the first one is a roughly c. 1600 version of this portrait:

And yeah, that second one is just bad. Unfortunately, there are quite a few execrable copies similar to that one floating around.

I've seen the first one and I like it more but on the second portrait there's quite an interesting necklace. Is it the “HA” monogram?

I too have seen the first one, and I like it because, like DuchessofBrittany mentioned, it brings out Anne's eyes. That said, it does not show the beauty or allure of the NPG and Hever portraits. The hair and eyes are very dark–usually they're a slightly lighter brown, I think–and the skin is extremely pale, not sallow but snow-white. Interesting. I don't like the second portrait at all. It looks nothing like any of her other portraits! I would not even guess it was her except for maybe the eyes…but it was done a couple centuries later, so that makes some sense. Still, I much prefer the first.

Isn't the Anglo-Flemish portrait the one that is in the opening credits of 'The Tudors' show? I can't really tell if that is the 'HA' monogram or just an ornate letter 'A' Valery, I don't think I've seen it before.

I've never seen this necklace too but it really looks like 'HA' to me even if it's not. Anyway, it's beautiful. 😉

Yes, it's the same portrait from 'The Tudors'.
