1537 — Hans Holbein paints a portrait of Jane Seymour

Holbein had been in England for a while at this point, and had painted a portrait of Anne Boleyn for Henry VIII, and Henry had a certain level of trust in him that survived Anne’s downfall. Holbein’s portrait of Jane Seymour, painted during her reign as Queen, is an example of that. (He also painted the first portrait on Jane and Henry’s son, Edward.) Sadly, Holbein’s later work was not as well received by Henry.
