William Carey Portrait acquired by Hever Castle
June 19 2025
Picture: Christie's
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
The Times published a photograph today (here's the story from the BBC) explaining that Hever Castle has acquired a portrait of William Carey (1497-1528), who famously married Mary Boleyn (Anne Boleyn's sister). The painting was sold at Christie's Paris last year, and the auction house's catalogue note is worth reading in terms of the dating and the prototype on which this work was based.
