This portrait was taken from the picture at Hampton Court Palace, while google offers lots more looking roughly, but not quite the same. One, for example, by one Maynard Waynwyk, of whom I had not previously heard. Perhaps she was the Madonna of her day, the subject of lots of pictures, both proper and pirated. Maybe even scurrilous woodcuts.
The search term 'hampton court palace margaret beaufort' gives plenty of pickings about her colourful life, but not anything that I could find about this particular picture. Must try harder.
