"Bildnis Alice More" is a portrait by the renowned German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted during his time in England in the early 16th century. The painting depicts Alice More (née Harpur), the second wife of Sir Thomas More, a prominent English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. Holbein became closely associated with the More family during his first stay in England from 1526 to 1528, where he was welcomed into their home and commissioned to create several portraits.

The portrait of Alice More is an example of Holbein's mastery in capturing the character and social standing of his sitters. His meticulous attention to detail, use of rich colors, and the ability to render textures of fabrics and furs are evident in this work. The painting showcases Holbein's skill in creating lifelike and sophisticated representations, which contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost portraitists of the 16th century.

While the exact date of the painting is not known, it is believed to have been completed during Holbein's first period in England, before he returned to Basel in 1528. The portrait would have been commissioned by Sir Thomas More or a member of his family, reflecting their status and wealth. The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the attire and aesthetics of the Tudor court.

"Bildnis Alice More" remains an important work within Holbein's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its contribution to portrait painting during the Northern Renaissance. The painting is also a valuable piece for understanding the social and cultural context of the English upper class during the reign of Henry VIII. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location of the painting or its history post-creation is not well-documented, which may be due to the loss, damage, or private ownership of the work.
