  1. Being somewhat younger than good old K-Parr(that was her name at court,a bit like K-Fed),I would only be guessing.


  2. Why h**l NO!! She doesn't look like I remember Katherine Parr, at all. No Sir!

    I knew her well and intimately, and Katherine was sweet and tender, and kind, - not at all like the Girl with the Pearl who took off her kit fer any ol' painter and Portrait Artist who moistened her brush.

    No Sirree Bub,.!

  3. Yes, I do see the similarities in both of them, especially the nose and the mouth, and of course, they both have identical hair and colour. However, since it is only a piece of painting, therefore it is subject to some of the artist's own interpretation and creativity. If you try to see more paintings of Catherine Parr by different artists, you'll discover that not every painting is consistent and identical.

    This one has painted Catherine Parr as a brunette, with a different shape of nose and mouth.

    This one has painted Catherine Parr as a brunette as well, but she looks very different from the previous painting

    This one has painted Catherine Parr with a much longer nose

    As you can see, it is extremely difficult to know exactly what Catherine Parr may have looked like when she was alive. Some may argue that these could have been painted at different stages during her life, however, we'll never know.

  4. If you mean bloodless and vacuous well yes
