Sir Thomas More, his father, his household and his descendantsBy Rowland Lockey, after Hans Holbein
Sir Thomas More, his father, his household and his descendantsBy Rowland Lockey, after Hans Holbein the YoungerOil on canvas, 1593This painting is taken from an original 1528 painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, which was destroyed in the 18th Century. The first seven figures come from that group portrait, while the others have come from other sources. The eighth to twelfth figures are thought to have been painted from life, being descendants and still living. The portrait of Anne More in the background is thought to have been taken from another real life portrait of the woman, and as such she appears twice in this portrait, being in the first group of seven people as well. -- source link
