Not all scholars accept the attribution to Holbein (Roy Strong, Tudor and Jacobean Portraits, London: HMSO, 1969, p. 92). It is also not certain that the sitter is Prince Edward, the future Edward VI (the inscription was added at a later date). If it is him, he would be five or six years old (Parker, –56). 1542/43 if the sitter is Prince Edward; otherwise 1532– Attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger 179 Edward Prince of Wales, attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger
