This anonymous photo reproduction of a portrait by Hans Holbein depicts Thomas Wentworth, 1st Baron of Wentworth, in a simple, yet striking, composition.

This work provides a glimpse into the visual culture of 19th century Europe, showcasing the growing popularity of photo-reproduction as a means of disseminating artistic imagery. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, providing a historical perspective on the life of this significant figure.
