I'm still thinking that this portrait is (at best) a portrait of Mary of Scotland which has been confused with Mary Tudor. The style of everything about it is terribly French and at least a decade after Mary Tudor died. Since Mary Tudor married the King of Spain, she wasn't terribly popular in France and she had her portrait painted by only a couple of artists in her relatively brief reign and they were not French.

So he was noodling around on-line, bored with his cheating cribbage program (!), and found the original Mary I painting. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheHouseOfTudor 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!
