Explanation:

Analyze Levina Teerlinc's role in Henry VIII's court

Levina Bening Teerlinc was a Flemish Renaissance miniaturist who served as a court painter to the Tudor dynasty. She was appointed as court painter to Henry VIII in 1546 with an annual salary of £40, which was higher than the salary paid to Hans Holbein the Younger, making her the highest-paid artist in his court.

Analyze her role in subsequent Tudor courts

Teerlinc successfully transitioned through the reigns of Edward VI and Mary I, and she remained highly favored as a gentlewoman and painter in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, regularly presenting her with portraits and miniatures.

Evaluate the options

Since both statement A ("She was the highest paid artist in Henry VIII's court") and statement B ("She was involved in Queen Elizabeth's court") are historically accurate, option D ("A and B are true") is the correct choice.

Answer:

• A
• B
• C
• D (Correct answer)
