"History only remembers I was a catastrophe."

After some months of silence later,I finished my Queen Mary I's watercolour painting.I wish people remember more than burnings but also her soft side.

From now on,I will draw not only historical stuff but original art instead of musical fanarts.

Digital portrait of Katherine Howard ~

(12/2021)

a painting of my own version of the historical figure Katherine(/Catherine) Howard! I based this on a couple portraits that have long been attributed to her (though none are confirmed, since she was Queen for such a short time) as well as my own take on what we know of her as a person... I wanted this piece to show her youth and playfulness, as well as the vulnerability of someone so young having been manipulated into such an awful situation...

Another beautiful art piece by Anna and Elena Balbusso.

This final piece in the Six Tudor Queen series by Alison Weir is of Catherine Parr and in my opinion this is my favourite design out of them all.

I especially love that like the Anna von Kleve and Jane Seymour ones that the artist took inspiration from a portrait of this Tudor queen.

The portrait that inspired this design is the Melton Constable or Hastings portrait of Catherine, which was formally labelled as Lady Jane Grey.

This is not an original though but a 17th century replica of 16th century original paintings. It’s one of my favourites of Catherine Parr as it gives a better idea as to what this queen looked like.

Obviously there are slight differences with the sleeves and design pattern, but the colours and overall style is the same.
