<i>Profile of Sir Thomas Wyatt wearing an antique drape.</i> Woodcut published in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Leland" class="extiw" title="w:John Leland">John Leland</a>'s <i>Naenia</i> in 1548.
<p>This woodcut was probably based on a lost Holbein drawing or painting of Wyatt from around 1540. Holbein <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sir_Thomas_Wyatt_(1)_by_Hans_Holbein_the_Younger.jpg" class="extiw" title="w:File:Sir Thomas Wyatt (1) by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg">had already drawn Wyatt</a> in the mid 1530s wearing a hat. Here he is shown balding. Four copies of the lost work, by other hands, survive (see "Other versions" below for two).
