At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "Anne de Cleves [...]". Date: Description: Portrait en face of Henry VIII's fourth wife. Probably after the painting by Hans Holbein the Younger. Person: Anna von Kleve (1515 Düsseldorf - 1557 London) She was the fourth wife of the English King Henry VIII and was thus Queen of England from 6 January 1540 to 9 July 1540. Henry VIII planned another marriage for political reasons after the death of his third wife Jane Seymour. He chose Anne of Cleves because he liked her portrait painted by Hans Holbein, and signed the marriage contract without having met her personally. After their first meeting, he apparently felt disappointed in his expectations and had the marriage, concluded on 6 January 1540 in Greenwich, declared invalid six months later.
