This study aims to explore the the problems on missing or unidentified portraits of sixteenth century as representing Anne Boleyn, Queen of England (1533 - 1536), through the case study of the portrait of Lady Bergavenny, who was recently found by the british writer Alison Weir in a sales site, which was released as a lost portrait of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII (1491-1547). For this discussion, it will be used four versions of the portrait of Lady Bergavenny available on the websites of The Lewis Walpole Library, the British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, as well as a copy published in the online newspaper Daily Mail.
