This print showcases the stunning portrait of Christina of Denmark, Duchess of Milan, painted by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger in 1538. At just sixteen years old when this masterpiece was created, Christina was a potential bride for King Henry VIII. Dressed in an exquisite robe adorned with fur, she exudes elegance and grace. The intricate details of her attire reflect the fashion trends of the 16th century, highlighting her status as a member of royalty. Her youthful beauty is captured flawlessly by Holbein's skilled brushstrokes. The monochrome composition adds depth to this historical image, transporting us back to a time when kingdoms were ruled by powerful monarchs like Henry VIII. It also emphasizes the timeless appeal and enduring legacy of Christina's portrait.
