"Portrait of Anne of Cleves" is a painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, completed in 1539. Anne of Cleves (1515-1557) was the fourth wife of King Henry VIII of England, and her portrait was commissioned by the king as part of the marriage negotiations. Holbein, who served as the court painter to Henry VIII, was renowned for his skill in portraiture and was dispatched to the court of Anne's brother, Duke Wilhelm of Cleves, to capture her likeness.

The painting is an example of Holbein's mastery in rendering the fine details and textures of fabrics and jewels, as well as his ability to convey the sitter's character and status. Anne is depicted wearing a richly adorned dress with elaborate sleeves and a high neckline, typical of the Northern Renaissance fashion. Her expression is composed and dignified, reflecting the formality of such state portraits.

The portrait played a significant role in the history of the English monarchy. Henry VIII's decision to marry Anne was influenced by Holbein's flattering depiction of her. However, upon meeting Anne in person, Henry was reportedly disappointed with her appearance, leading to a short-lived marriage that lasted only six months before an annulment was granted.

Today, the portrait is not only appreciated for its artistic excellence but also for its historical significance, providing insight into the politics of marriage and alliance during the Tudor period. The painting is held in a private collection and is not on public display, making it less well-known than some of Holbein's other works. Nonetheless, it remains an important piece in the study of Holbein's portraiture and the representation of Tudor royalty.
