Summary

Portrait of James Butler, Earl of Ormond, inscribed at the top "Ormond". Black and coloured chalks, pen and brush in Indian ink and watercolour on pink-primed paper, 40.1 × 29.2 cm, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Collection" class="extiw" title="w:Royal Collection">Royal Collection</a>, Windsor Castle. The drawing may have been worked over in the hat and beard by later hands, but in the view of art historian K. T. Parker, "the drawing of the gown shows a masterly breadth of treatment, and confirms the opinion that in the main the original state has not been modified" (Parker, p. 42).

In his 1945 study of the Windsor drawings, Parker doubted the traditional identification of the sitter as Anne Boleyn's father, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Boleyn,_1st_Earl_of_Wiltshire" class="extiw" title="w:Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire">Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire</a>, and the sitter is these days accepted as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Butler,_9th_Earl_of_Ormond" class="extiw" title="w:James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond">James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond</a>, once proposed as a match for Boleyn's daughter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Boleyn" class="extiw" title="w:Anne Boleyn">Anne</a>.
