<p>The drawing has been reworked in pen and ink and (on the gown) in metalpoint by other hands. In the words of art historian K. T. Parker: "The work in Indian ink is devoid of skill or sensitiveness, and is certainly not by Holbein. But traces of left-handed shading appear in the hat,  and there can be little doubt that the drawing, in spite of its injuries, is fundamentally an original of the master" (K. T. Parker, <i>The Drawings of Hans Holbein at Windsor Castle,</i> Oxford: Phaidon, 1945, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/822974?referer=di&amp;ht=edition">OCLC 822974</a>, p. 57).
