You should offer the Anne Boleyn for raffle! Then people (like me) on modest means but who love this type of portrature would be in with a chance of owning it! Really if the Cheltenham house at a modest 500k can have a bash then why not? I am a huge fan of Mr Mould by the way so no disrespect intended!! Food for thought?

His pallor and bright red hair suggest the non-beefy Tudor strain, like his cousin Elizabeth. Also, Darnley's portrait by Vanson is interesting, if it's authentic ... degenerate popeyed coxcomb all over.
