Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex NPG 6311

© National Portrait Gallery, London

studio of Hans Holbein the Younger

This portrait is mounted in the same case as an earlier miniature of Cromwell from which it is derived. This version, probably from Holbein's studio, must have been painted following the sitter's election to the Order of the Garter in 1537 as he is shown wearing the collar of the Greater George. The gold locket is late eighteenth or early nineteenth century in date and housed both miniatures back to back.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
