Though this drawing has survived with a collection of drawings mainly by Holbein at Windsor, it is not regarded as a Holbein, on grounds of style. It could, however, be a free copy of Holbein's painting of Howard, in which the hat and ear are similarly placed, or of a version of it. Howard was executed in 1547, convicted of inappropriately using the Royal Arms of England. The arms are seen in a portrait of him by William Scrots. Reference K. T.
