Portrait of Sir Richard Southwell 1536

Hans Holbein the Younger's "Portrait of Sir Richard Southwell" is a striking example of Northern Renaissance portraiture. Painted in 1536, the work captures Southwell's likeness with meticulous detail, showcasing Holbein's mastery of oil painting. The sitter's sharp gaze and the inscription detailing his age and the date of the painting add a sense of realism and historical context. The painting is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, and is considered a significant work in Holbein's oeuvre.
