Portrait of Nicolas Bourbon. Black and coloured chalks, pen and ink on pink-primed paper, 38.4 × 28.3 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. The French poet Nicolas Bourbon (1503–after 1550) met Holbein when the former came to England in 1535 after being imprisoned in France for supporting religious reform. He was welcomed and helped in England by Anne Boleyn, a reformist and a patron of Holbein. This is a preparatory drawing for a painting, now lost. Of the painting, Bourbon wrote: "Hans in painting me was greater than Apelles", referring to the famous painter of Greek antiquity (Susan Foister, Holbein in England, London: Tate, 2006, ISBN 1854376454. p. 53).
