#PortraitTuesday – A cartoon-like Anne Boleyn
Posted By Claire on June 13, 2023
In this week’s #PortraitTuesday video, I look at a contemporary image of Anne Boleyn which is rather cartoon-like!
This Anne Boleyn image is from her coronation banquet seating plan. I do love it!
It’s from Harley MS 41 and you can see the image for yourself in the British Library’s collection click here

Did Anne Boleyn bring French fashion to court?
Yes she looks rather grumpy was it sketched by Holbein do we know?
I imagine the person who did the sketch was primarily trying to show how the hall was arranged and who sat where. It is interesting because it technically is a portrait made during her lifetime, but I doubt anyone who knew her would recognize her from it!
I find the two apparently identical staffs she holds in either hand interesting. It looks as if they might be topped with falcons.
I think she looks like a dog with floppy ears!
Haha
