I've seen it attributed to Pourbus rather than Gheeraerts. Wikipedia claims Gheeraerts -- all other sources including this entry cite Pourbus. http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Anne+Boleyn With her eyes, it also looks like the work of Sofonisba Anguissola; but I leave the attribution to the folks that know. As to it can't be Anne, I disagree. It's attributed as a posthumous painting -- as the above posted indicated possibly at the behest of Elizabeth, her daughter, who might have requested those clothes.
