Joan or Jane Astley (d. 1577) was the sister of London mercer John Astley. She married the courtier Peter Meutas, who, like Holbein, was involved in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII_of_England" class="extiw" title="w:Henry VIII of England">Henry VIII</a>'s embassies to scout for potential brides. On the right of the drawing is a sketch of interlocked hands wearing rings. The design on Lady Meutas's oval medallion is similar to one of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Penitent_Mary_Magdalen,_three_drawings_by_Hans_Holbein_the_Younger.jpg" title="File:The Penitent Mary Magdalen, three drawings by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg">Holbein's designs for a Mary Magdalen medallion</a>.
