"Erasmus von Rotterdam im Gehäus" (Erasmus of Rotterdam in His Study) is a celebrated portrait by the German and Swiss artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted circa 1523. This artwork is one of several portraits Holbein created of the Dutch Renaissance humanist, theologian, and scholar Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, with whom he had a close friendship. The painting is noted for its meticulous detail and the insightful depiction of Erasmus, showcasing Holbein's mastery of the Northern Renaissance style.

In the portrait, Erasmus is depicted in a three-quarter profile, seated at a desk in his study, surrounded by the tools of his scholarly work, including books, papers, and a textile hanging that serves as a backdrop. The setting and objects within the painting are rendered with precise realism, a hallmark of Holbein's technique. The portrait not only captures the intellectual spirit of Erasmus but also serves as a testament to the cultural and intellectual exchanges of the period, as Holbein, a German artist, found patronage among the Dutch and English elite.

The painting is executed in oil on panel, a medium that allowed Holbein to achieve fine details and subtle gradations of color. The work's composition and the sitter's expression convey a sense of introspection and concentration, reflecting Erasmus's life of the mind. The portrait is also an example of the artist's skill in portraying textures and materials, from the fur lining of Erasmus's robe to the sheen of the inkwell on the desk.

"Erasmus von Rotterdam im Gehäus" is considered an important work in Holbein's oeuvre and in the broader context of Northern Renaissance portraiture. It is held in high regard for its artistry and as a historical document of one of the era's leading humanist thinkers. The painting is part of the collection of the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland, the city where Holbein and Erasmus both resided for a time. The work continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and its embodiment of the intellectual fervor of the Renaissance.
