Portrait of a Wife of An Unknown Stonemason 1505

Hans Holbein the Elder's *Portrait of a Wife of an Unknown Stonemason* is a captivating portrait of a woman, likely the wife of a stonemason, depicted in profile. This 1505 drawing showcases Holbein's mastery of capturing the subtle details of human anatomy, evident in the delicate lines of the woman's face and the soft folds of her clothing. This work, housed in the National Gallery in Prague, provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the early 16th century and exemplifies the artist's talent for portraiture.
