Discussion: Which historical portrait of Anne Boleyn do you like to most?

"There is uite much portraits of Anne, but much of them are just how Anne possibly could look like, not like she really did.Which one of existing portraits of Anne do you like to most? I like two of them.

Comes from 16th century, I like it because Anne is really pretty and mysterious here.

Sketch by Hans Holbein, the Younger, so I guess that she could look like this.

And yours?"

"..I assume you mean, which portrait looks the way we would like her to look. The only authentic portrait (and it is defaced) of Anne Boleyn that was done during her lifetime is a medallion. All of the features except the outline of her face have been obliterated. It is said, because of the similarity in the shape of the face that the miniature inside Elizabeth I's ring, may have been close to how she might have looked. Otherwise, I have no particular opinion. Of course most would like to think she was a great beauty, but that was not how she was described. I think her beauty was in her intelligence and her charisma. She was also said to have beautiful eyes and hair. No extant portrait gives that impression. "
