The "Portrait of Henry VIII" is an iconic representation of the Tudor monarch, originally created by Hans Holbein the Younger, a German-Swiss artist who became the court painter for Henry VIII of England. The original work, which has not survived, was part of a larger mural painted in 1536-1537 for the Palace of Whitehall. Holbein's depiction of Henry VIII has become one of the most enduring images of the king, symbolizing his authority, power, and the grandeur of his reign.

The version referred to as the "British School Later 18th Century" is a subsequent interpretation of Holbein's original design. This later work was created in the 18th century by an unknown artist or artists who were part of the British School, a term used to describe a group of artists working in Britain during that period. The British School artists were known for their adherence to classical and traditional styles, often drawing inspiration from earlier masters like Holbein.

This 18th-century rendition of Henry VIII's portrait captures the essence of Holbein's original composition, featuring the king in a commanding pose with his characteristic broad shoulders, elaborate attire, and regal demeanor. The portrait emphasizes the opulence of Henry's court, with intricate details in the clothing and accessories that reflect the wealth and sophistication of the Tudor era. The king's stern expression and direct gaze convey his formidable presence and the absolute power he wielded during his reign.

While the original mural by Holbein was destroyed in the fire that consumed the Palace of Whitehall in 1698, the legacy of his work endures through various copies and adaptations, including this 18th-century British School version. These later interpretations have played a crucial role in preserving the visual heritage of one of England's most famous monarchs, ensuring that Holbein's influential portrayal of Henry VIII continues to be recognized and admired centuries after its creation.
