"Mary Tudor 1516-58" is a portrait painting attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, a German artist and printmaker who became one of the most celebrated portraitists of the 16th century during his time in England. The painting is believed to depict Mary Tudor, also known as Mary I of England, the daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Born on February 18, 1516, Mary Tudor's reign as queen from 1553 until her death in 1558 was marked by her efforts to restore Roman Catholicism in England after the Protestant Reformation initiated by her father.

The portrait is not dated, but stylistic elements and historical context suggest it was likely created during the period when Holbein was active as a court painter in England, between his two stays from 1526 to 1528 and from 1532 until his death in 1543. Holbein's mastery in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters is evident in the detailed rendering of Mary's features, attire, and accessories, which also reflect her status and royal identity.

While the painting is attributed to Holbein, there is some debate among art historians regarding its authenticity and the exact identity of the sitter. If the subject is indeed Mary Tudor, the portrait would have been painted before her accession to the throne, as Holbein died before she became queen. The artwork is an important piece for understanding the visual representation of Tudor royalty and the broader context of Renaissance portraiture in England.

The portrait of Mary Tudor is a significant historical artifact, offering insights into the political and religious dynamics of the Tudor court, as well as the role of royal portraiture in shaping the public image of monarchy. As with many works of art from this period, the provenance and history of the painting contribute to its fascination and enduring legacy in the canon of Renaissance art.
