The Six Wives of King Henry VIII as they have NEVER been seen before!
Until now, this famous group of historical figures have only been depicted in 3/4 or front facing portraits...many of which were flattering exaggerations done by Artists of the court, or drawn later from the verbal descriptions left in historical records.

This original series of Tudor Silhouette profiles was created through the research and imagination of Silhouette Artist Kathryn Flocken, and is EXCLUSIVE to this Etsy shop!

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

*****King Henry and his many Queens would have never posed for their Silhouette portraits during the time of King Henry VIII's reign in the 1500's, as the art of Silhouette cutting began roughly 200 years later in France (then the photographic portrait came about 100 years after THAT!). The portraits of those days were usually commissioned oil paintings, a luxury reserved only for royalty and those of great wealth. These are the artistic musings of what these people may have looked like in Silhouette, had the art form been around in that time period.

*****No watermarks or copyright marks will appear directly on or around the images you will receive. Images shown in this Etsy shop are medium to low resolution to preserve their uniqueness. You will receive high quality, crisp images on your items.

***********************************




Paris Map

This is a very difficult 384 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle of a map of Paris created by Vlastudio. The puzzle has a decorative fleur-de-lis edge (no straight edge pieces) and 20 Paris-themed whimsy pieces (yes, there is a piece shaped like the Eiffel tower, as well as Napoleon on horse-back, Gerard Depardieu in a chef's hat, a French bulldog, and more!). The puzzle pieces are laser-cut and are 1/4" thick wood. Packaged in a pine wood box. Made in USA. 384 pieces. 11" x 14". $80
