A rarely seen portrait of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.
Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, by an Unknown Artist. Private Collection. |
The portrait shows Brandon ’s resemblance to his brother–in-law and friend Henry VIII, and his virile good looks that so appealed to the King’s sister Mary, whom Brandon married in secret in 1515.
Sotheby’s has it valued at £100,000 to £150,000. I’ll have to settle for the postcard.
