This drawing is a study for a painted portrait by Holbein in the Frick Collection, New York.[50] Another drawing similar to this one is also in the Royal Collection.[49] The painting and the drawings relate to a group portrait of Thomas More's family.[39] Destroyed by fire at the Kremsier Castle (Czech Republic) in 1752,[40][41] its appearance is preserved in an annotated drawing by Holbein, now in Kunstmuseum Basel.[39] There are also several later copies, including three 1592–1594 versions by Rowland Lockey: a watercolor miniature in the Victoria and Albert Museum[42] and two oils on canvas, one in the National Portrait Gallery,[43] and one at the Nostell Priory, West Yorkshire.[44]
Six more drawings executed by Holbein in preparation for the group portrait survive, all in the Royal Collection. One is of Thomas More's father Sir John More;[47] another is of his son John More the Younger;[45] the third records the likeness of his ward and daughter-in-law, John's wife Anne Cresacre;[37] the fourth and the fifth — that of his daughters Cicely Heron and Elizabeth Dauncey;[41][46] finally, there is one of his foster daughter Margaret Giggs.[69] The compositional sketch in Basel also depicts his wife Lady Alice More[111](a related painted portrait, attributed to Holbein's studio, is at the Weiss Gallery in London),[112] his daughter Margaret Roper (a portrait miniature of her, by Holbein, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York),[51] and his household fool Henry Patenson.[113]
