The hardest thing, in my opinion, is not making flashy upper-class costumes. It’s making believable “everyday people” costumes. While we here at Frock Flicks might quibble here an…

Portrait of Jane Seymour, by Hans Holbein the Younger, c. 1536-7. Oil on oak; 65.4 x 40.7cm. Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. The exact date of this painting is unknown, though clearly between the time of Jane’s marriage to Henry VIII in May 1536 and her death following childbirth in October 1537. The purpose of the painting is also unclear. The lack of reference to it in the royal inventories indicates that it was probably meant to be sent abroad. It was customary for royalty to send portraits of themselves and their family to fellow rulers. Though we do not know where the painting was sent, it found its way to Amsterdam by the beginning of the seventeenth-century. Infrared examinations have uncovered the adjustments that Holbein made in the execution of the painting. Detail of her hands has changed, namely her left thumb extended, a jewel removed from the wrist, and the folds in skirt have been altered. A preliminary drawing of the portrait has survived: www.flickr.com/photos/20631910@N03/3419703980/in/set-7215... which shows Jane wearing different jewellery and undersleeves of different design. Unlike the painting, the preliminary drawing remained in the Royal Collection.

She and not anne was the true protestant queen, I now all you will say oh witch how could you but people it is the truth!! She was the ONLY protestant queen, and I mean only, not Jane Seymour, not Anne Boleyn and certainly not Anne of Cleves, this woman was the only Protestant Queen, a true faithful for the cause not seeking advantage or lust for money like some of his women or counselors, in all of Henry's reign with new reformist ideas caused a major impact for edward VI and his reofrmist reforms and new institutions solely protestants, it was her not anne boleyn the protestant but she a true faithful who believed in faith and spirituality more than advancement like all of the false faces in Henry's reign who said to be protestant and left the country to plounder during his reign in sadness and poverty and even some catholics to. She is my third pick queen favorite queen after Katherine of Aragon and Anen Boleyn of course she was one fo the best, she did not steal away, but was an adamant woman in a good way. and loved all, including Henry's children to whom even Mary had a good relation ship. People also do not realize and thought I love Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn as my favorites wives and true they were to most the most imporant, this wife is the first true protestant Queen and REFORMER! Thanks to her England was shaped with a new renaissance for Elizabeth I, Elizabeth got great experience and loving character from this woman who was like her mother, and she influenced Edward and she worked hard for the reform, she was a great influence for Elizabeth who became one of the greatest Queens of England.
