Margaret

Margaret of Burgundy can be found on Google. There is a rather nice painting and I think that she has a sweet feminine face, slim ,pleasant, and I can see a faint resemblance to the younger age&portrait of Richard. That she had a feisty determined personality&well, are we surprised?

I love this portrait...you can make out the folds in the very fine fabric of her hennin where it has been folded....fine as gossamer....beautiful...Eileen

Yes, it's gorgeous. A real shame there isn't anything like this
surviving of Anne or of Cecily.

best wishes,
Marianne

Marianne...check this out too.....Can you see the family likeness shared between uncle, aunt and niece....especially around the eyes.

Carol responds:

There's also this one, traditionally believed to be Margaret Pole:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unknown_woman,_formerly_known_as_Margaret_Pole,_Countess_of_Salisbury_from_NPG_retouched.jpg

I'm not sure why the identification has been recently questioned. Note that she appears to be wearing a tiny wine cask as a bracelet in honor of her father's death (I guess she believed the butt of malmsey story, but whether she believed that Richard murdered her father {and his own brother] is impossible to say).

I cannot understand why the identity of the sitter in this portrait has been questioned as it is obviously the same person as the young Margaret in Rous' drawing of her. Check the eyes...they are one and the same person....These experts....where do they come from?
