Henry VII and the Family of Henry VIII in Whitehall Palace

George Vertue after Hans Holbein the Younger

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four individuals standing around a large sculpted pedestal inscribed with text. On the left, a man stands confidently with one arm akimbo and the other resting on his hip, wearing elaborate regal clothing and a crown. The second figure, a tall man standing behind the pedestal, wears a long robe with a cap. The two women on the right are dressed elegantly in detailed gowns. The background is adorned with architectural elements, including columns, arches, and panels with sculpted cherubs. A small dog is seen at the bottom right, beside the woman in the foreground.
