Summary
| Description |
English: Portrait of Sir George Carew. Black and coloured chalks, reworked with metalpoint, on pink-primed paper, 31.9 × 23.5cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. The drawing is in bad condition, much injured by rubbing and with a black stain where the outline of the hat joins the face, and a smeared stain below in centre. It has been reworked so much, and sharply gone over with metalpoint, that it has sometimes been thought not a Holbein original.
Sir George Carew (c. 1514–1545) was a soldier and naval commander under Henry VIII. Vice-Admiral of the royal fleet in 1545, he was in command of the flagship the Mary Rose when it sank in the Solent in 1545. The inscription on a roundel painting made from this drawing by a follower of Holbein reads: "SIR GEORGE CAREW/KNIGHT FIRST SOHN TO SIR/WILLM CAREW DROWNED AT/PORTSMOUTH IN THE MARYOS". |
