The artwork is notable for its representation of the Tudor dynasty, depicting the family of Henry VIII of England in a complex allegorical composition that reflects the political and religious dynamics of the time. The painting is significant for its portrayal of key historical figures, including Henry VIII, his three children—Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I—and his three deceased wives—Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, and Catherine of Aragon. It also includes figures such as Lady Jane Grey and her husband, Guildford Dudley, who are shown in the background, alluding to their brief and tragic claim to the throne.

His work on "The Family of Henry VIII" is particularly distinguished by its intricate symbolism and the way it conveys the legitimacy and continuity of the Tudor line during a period of religious upheaval and succession crises. The painting serves not only as a family portrait but also as a visual statement of the Tudor claim to the throne, with Elizabeth I, who was the reigning monarch at the time of the painting's creation, positioned prominently.

The artwork is housed in the Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire, England, which has a rich history connected to the Tudors, as it was the residence of Queen Catherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII, after his death. "The Family of Henry VIII: An Allegory of the Tudor Succession" is an important piece of Renaissance art that offers insight into the political propaganda of the era and stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Tudor dynasty in English history.
