"Lais Corinthiaca" is a portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger, painted in 1526. The painting depicts Lais of Corinth, a famous courtesan from ancient Greece, sitting in a richly adorned interior, her hand outstretched toward a scattering of coins. Holbein’s keen eye for detail is evident in the painting, from the intricate embroidery on her gown to the subtle textures of the fabric draped behind her. The painting is housed in the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland and is a prime example of Holbein’s talent for capturing the beauty and grace of his subjects.
