The rare portrait by Hans Holbein, featuring Sir Thomas More and his family, will go on to display at Tate Britain in London this week. The pen-and-ink image, featuring More, his father, wife, three daughters and son, has been in Switzerland since 1529.

Hans Holbein the Younger, King Henry VIII's court painter has painted many portraits under More's patronage. Sir Thomas was executed in 1535 for opposing the King's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and marriage to Anne Boleyn.

Holbein held the position of court painter from around 1535 until his death, widely speculated to be a result of the Plague in 1543.

The exhibition, which runs Sept. 28 through Jan. 7, also puts on display the portraits of Henry VIII, his third wife Jane Seymour and their son Edward.
