Painted by George Henry Harlow, this oil on canvas artwork is a part of the Tabley House Collection at the University of Manchester, UK. The image showcases Thomas Wolsey, an influential English political figure and cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. In this scene, he is depicted kneeling inside Westminster Abbey as he receives his prestigious red hat from another cardinal.
