Description

A portrait of Anne Boleyn, in which she is shown from the bust up. In the depiction, she wears an elaborate headpiece decorated in pearls. She wears pearl necklaces along with her signature pearl necklace which has a “B” pendant. The painting is dark in colors, mostly dark browns, black, and dark green in the background. This usage of dark colors makes Anne stand out in contrast. Along the top of the painting there is writing which reads “Anna Bolina VXOR- Henri-Octa”.
