Hans Holbein the Younger was a German-Swiss artist and Lucas Horenbout was a Flemish artist. Both artists were employed by King Henry VIII in the English (Tudor) court in the 1530s until their deaths in the mid-1540s.
Katherine Willoughby was the sole surviving child of William Willoughby and Maria de Salinas. When her father died, she became a ward (and later the 4th wife) of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk.
When looking up information about Katherine on Wikipedia, I noticed a discrepancy. There was a miniature portrait of her that was credited to Hans Holbein the Younger. However, the original miniature is with Grimsthorpe & Drummond Castle Trust, which states that the portrait was painted by Lucas Horenbout.
