DescriptionHans Holbein the Younger - Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey RL 12216.jpg
English: Portrait of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey. Black and coloured chalks, reinforced with pen and Indian ink, on pink-primed paper, 29 × 21 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. The inscription, added later, is false.
This drawing has been much restored. Art historian K. T. Parker remarked: "Though very much rubbed and injured by retouching, the drawing seems originally to have been genuine. With what a lack of understanding the restorer went to work is shown by the hair which has now the appearance of being covered by a kerchief" (K. T. Parker, The Drawings of Hans Holbein at Windsor Castle, Oxford: Phaidon, 1945, OCLC 822974, p. 43).
