Thanks! This is very interesting, and more convincing than the later
version, though there are still some things that seem odd. And I
still don't think it's Mary I or Holbein.

still looking for an attribution. (for hours and hours and hours!
no luck!!)
ah, the wonder-boy does it again! I had cleaned away all the links
to the engraving that started this, but he has found it http://
womenshistory.about.com/od/tudor/a/tudor_women_4.htm The caption
there says "after Holbein"!
Comparing the two, we find it very interesting how much older the
monochrome looks (the person in the monochrome, I mean), vs. the
child in color! The white furring in the color image looks much
more reasonable, too.
enjoy!
