DescriptionHans Holbein the Younger - Lady Lister RL 12219.jpg
English: Portrait of Jane, Lady Lister. Black and coloured chalks and pen and Indian ink on pink-primed paper, 29 × 21 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.
Jane Lister was the daughter of Ralph Shirley, an official of the court of Henry VII. Sir Richard Lister, an important official and Lord Chief Justice under Henry VIII and Edward VI, was her second husband.
The drawing has been reworked by later hands than Holbein's. Art historian K. T. Parker detected Holbein's characteristic left-handed shading in the headdress and right sleeve; but he called the penwork "medium quality" and noticed strengthening of the chalk.
