Holbein made this study, along with that of the sitter's husband, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Elyot" class="extiw" title="w:Thomas Elyot">Thomas</a> (right), whom she married in about 1522, for matching paintings now lost. Both drawings are strongly reinforced with Indian ink around the heads and headgear, a technique absent in the portrait studies of Holbein's first English period. Dating from the earliest stage of his second period in England, which started in 1532, the drawings are unusually well preserved, down to the white chalk heightening Lady Elyot's nose and forehead.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> The sitter wears a gable hood.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> After her husband's death in 1546, Lady Elyot married <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dyer" class="extiw" title="w:James Dyer">Sir James Dyer</a>, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. </div> |
