File:Elizabeth, Lady Rich, by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg
Summary
Portrait of Elizabeth, Lady Rich. Black and coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink, metalpoint, on pink-primed paper, 37.9 × 30.3cm, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Collection" class="extiw" title="w:Royal Collection">Royal Collection</a>, Windsor Castle.
The drawing has suffered from rubbing, and the penwork by another hand, according to the art historian K. T. Parker in his study of the Windsor drawings, is "rather coarse and fumbling". Holbein's left-handed shading can be seen in the headdress on the left. Two paintings based on this sketch by followers of Holbein survive, including <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elizabeth,_Lady_Rich,_after_Hans_Holbein_the_Younger.jpg" title="File:Elizabeth, Lady Rich, after Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg">one at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York</a>. Elizabeth, Lady Rich (d. 1558), was the daughter of William Jenks, or Gynkes, a London grocer. She married <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Rich,_1st_Baron_Rich" class="extiw" title="w:Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich">Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich</a>, now notorious for his evidence against both <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More" class="extiw" title="w:Thomas More">Sir Thomas More</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cromwell" class="extiw" title="w:Thomas Cromwell">Sir Thomas Cromwell</a> before their executions in 1535 and 1540. She bore Rich, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Richard,_Baron_Rich,_by_Hans_Holbein_the_Younger.jpg" title="File:Richard, Baron Rich, by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg">whose portrait</a> Holbein also drew, five sons and ten daughters.
