Notes
English: The background was formerly blue smalt but has turned brown.
Sir Brian Tuke (c. 1475–1547) was Henry VIII's Master of the Posts from 1517 and Treasurer of the Chamber from 1528. He was also a scholar, who edited an edition of Chaucer with a title-page after Holbein, and a collector of paintings. At the time Holbein painted him, Tuke had been ill, and the folded paper refers to the brevity of life ("Will my days not find their end very shortly"), evoking the patience of Job. Tuke's crucifix, showing the Five Wounds of Christ, is inscribed "INRI", a formula intended to ward off death.

Licensing[edit]

The author died in 1543, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
