a painting of a woman sitting in a chair wearing a tiara and holding a rose
Art History by Laurence Shafe,
Antonis Mor ~ Mary Tudor ~ 1554 ~ Prado ~ Antonis Mor was sent to England to paint Mary Tudor and it is possible it was painted as a gift to Philip when he was in Spain. Mary is holding a flower (not a Tudor rose) as a love token. The painting does not look flattering but we do not know what she looked like. She would eventually marry Philip of Spain.
