Terra cotta bust of Henry VII by Pietro Torrigiano on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Photo May 2003.
Torrigiano also created the effigies on the tomb of Henry VII and his wife Elizabeth of York, as well as that of his mother Margaret Beaufort.
Oh this was the Picture of the Week #4, how nice to see it again! It’s very interesting to have a good representation of what he looked like!
D’oh! I forgot I had already used this for his birthday… I think I’ll do a “bonus” one to make up for the repeat.
Like the sideburns.
