| Fotografía de obra expuesta en la Grosvenor House Art and Antiques Fair en junio de 1947. Esta prestigiosa feria organizada por primera vez en 1934 por el Conde de Grosvenor en su residencia había sido suspendida durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, esta foto corresponde a su relanzamiento en 1947. Se trata de un retrato desconocido hasta ese momento de Enrique VIII que se encontraba velado por un paisaje realizado sobre el original. | Escrito al dorso: "LOST PORTRAIT OF HENRY VIII FOUND. A lost
portrait of Henry VIII, painted in about 1511 when he was 20, and over
painted later with a landscape, has been found in Birmingham an will be
on view at the Antique Dealer`s Fair, which opens at Grosvernor House
tomorrow. IT was found by Mr. A.G. Stannard who works for a
Birmingham wood pavement firm, and has been submitted to the
National Portrait Gallery. In the view of the experts, it is almost certainly
a contemporary portrait, and the framne is of the same period.
Mr. Stannard, who for many years has collected paintings, china and
glass as a hobby, was attracted yo the picture in a shop because the
frame was of an early period, while the painting was that of a dreary
landscape, he bought it for about 10/, and decided to clean the picture.
The landscape vanished and there appeared the half - lenght figure of
the bearded King Henry VIII. Photo shows: The lost portrait of Henry VII
at the Antique dealers´s Fair, at Grosvenor House, London, W. 10/6/47.
