Hey, Sis, long time no hear....<G>
Isn't he beautiful? He must have cut quite a figure in that outfit...
Sigh. I want to go to England some day when I grow up.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] a little OT - hunting a portrait
I love this portrait too :). The original is at Hampton court, or at
least it was when I saw it there almost 23 years ago. It is almost a
life-size painting. The entire outfit is red, as the version in Tudor
Tailor is. It makes for a very unique contrast to the white shirt and
blackwork embroidery.
The only place I have seen a color copy of the portrait was on the
cover of a costume & armor book. Sorry I don't have the title, it is
home packed in a box somewhere.
Catherine
