The painting is remarkable for its meticulous detail, the rich colors, and the psychological depth it conveys of the sitter.

Measuring 39 cm by 30.5 cm, the portrait showcases Holbein's mastery of the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by its precision and attention to the textures of materials, such as the fur collar and the intricate folds of Amerbach's clothing. The sitter's gaze is direct and engaging, suggesting a sense of confidence and intellect, which is further emphasized by the inclusion of books and papers in the composition, referencing Amerbach's scholarly pursuits.

The "Portrait of Bonifacius Amerbach" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance.
