English: Portrait clutching the red rose of the house of Lancaster and wearing the collar of the
Order of the Golden Fleece, arched top; Text from NPG catalogue:
"This impressive portrait is the earliest painting in the National Portrait Gallery's collection. The inscription records that the portrait was painted on 29 October 1505 by order of Herman Rinck, an agent for the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I. The portrait was probably painted as part of an unsuccessful marriage proposal, as Henry hoped to marry Maximillian's daughter Margaret of Savoy as his second wife".
