@sixteenthCgirl One of the most fascinating portraits in this fantastic exhibition

[Suzannah Lipscomb @sixteenthCgirl]

From the @NPGLondon’s new exhibition, Six Lives, this newly re-discovered and conserved portrait of Queen Kateryn Parr was painted late in Henry VIII’s reign. In an extravagantly bejewelled gown, she displays her wealth and status. But, there’s another message here too …

MAJOR NEW DISCOVERY featured today on @NotJustTudors. 400-year-old portrait identified by Dr Elizabeth Goldring and @emmarutherford1

So, "Anna Bollein Queen" had a double chin. Not a big deal.

Her daughter, Elizabeth I, is usually remembered as tall & slender but - and this is a little known fact about Elizabeth - she gained weight in the 1580s. Hilliard depicted her with an incipient double chin.

Look at the beautiful work of Sarah Biffin (1784-1850) who painted miniatures without hands (she was born with phocomelia)! Had fascinating chat about her with @emmarutherford1 at Philip Mould & Co, which has a new exhibition of Biffin’s work, for an upcoming podcast episode.

Two years of research and tracking down works have culminated in a new exhibition “Without Hands”
opening this Wednesday at our gallery in Pall Mall, featuring Sarah Biffin, born without arms and legs (1784), and who triumphed as a go-to Regency portraitist. All welcome.

On the 1st of November we open our exhibition on Sarah Biffin (1784 - 1850) - an uplifting story a woman born with phocomelia (leaving her without arms or legs) who nonetheless made a celebrated career as portrait painter, including four monarchs as her patron. 1/2
