Thinking about #catherineofaragon today and the massive grief she experienced in her lifetime.. truly a remarkable woman. 👸🏼
The historical figure I study is in the center; Catherine of Aragon. This #portrait and others were probably painted by the first female portraitist in the #Tudor court! A woman that #Queen of #England promoted!#catherineofaragon #art #patronage #Tudor #queenship #Gender_Studies
