"description": "Accepted by the Treasury in lieu of death duties from the Trustees of the Chatsworth Settlement, 1957, and presented by HM Government to the NPG. The first certain reference to the cartoon is in the inventory of John, Lord Lumley in 1590; presumably passed on Lumley's death in 1609 to his widow under whose auspices most of the collection, including the cartoon, was transported to Lumley Castle which, on her death, in 1617, passed to Richard Lumley, great-grandson of the 4th Lord Lumley and descended from him to the Earls of Scarborough; although there were no public sales before 1780, there were leakages from the collection and by 1727 it was in the possession of William Cavendish, 2nd Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth; later it was removed to Hardwick and eventually back to Chatsworth.",

"description": "<p>To commemorate the strength and triumphs of the Tudor dynasty, Henry VIII commissioned from Holbein a wall-painting for Whitehall Palace; this was completed in 1537. The immediate impetus for the commission may have been the birth or the expectation of the birth of Henry's son Edward, later Edward VI, in October 1537. The mural may have been in Henry's Privy Chamber and therefore have had a select, restricted audience rather than being an image of wider propaganda. This very large drawing is the preparatory drawing or cartoon for the left-hand section of that wall-painting, and shows Henry with his father Henry VII, the founder of the dynasty. The right-hand section showed Henry VIII's third wife Jane Seymour (1509?-37) and his mother Elizabeth of York (1465-1503). Holbein's painting was destroyed in the Whitehall Palace fire of 1698, and the cartoon for the right-hand side section is lost. The appearance of the whole painting is however recorded in a mid-seventeenth century copy by Remegius van Leemput in the Royal Collection. The cartoon is executed in black ink and watercolour on several sheets of paper joined together. The figures and faces of the kings are cut-outs pasted on to the backing paper. The cartoon is exactly the same size as the finished painting and was used to transfer Holbein's design to its intended position on the palace wall. To do this the cartoon was pricked along the main outlines of the composition and then fixed in the intended position on the wall. Chalk or charcoal dust was then brushed into the holes made by pricking, thus transferring the outline to the wall. Holbein could then proceed with filling in his design.</p>",
