Commissioned as a historic New Year's gift for King Henry VIII in 1539, Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait of the infant Prince Edward (later Edward VI) stands as a monumental achievement of Northern Renaissance portraiture and Tudor court propaganda. Painted around late 1538, the work captures the young heir with an astonishing architectural precision, balancing the soft innocence of childhood with the rigid, imposing posture of future sovereignty. Holbein's mastery of line and form is preserved with absolute fidelity. To honor the structural integrity of the original composition, every format is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring the historical masterpiece is presented exactly as the artist intended.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
