Answer
Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, was Holbein's notable patron in England. Holbein's association with the English court began in 1526 when he was invited by Sir Thomas More, a close friend of Boleyn. The artist's talent quickly caught Boleyn's attention, and she became his most influential patron, commissioning numerous portraits, including the famous "Portrait of Anne Boleyn."
