"Portrait of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen" is a notable early 16th-century painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, created in 1516. The work is a half-length portrait that depicts Jakob Meyer zum Hasen, a prominent burgomaster (mayor) of Basel, Switzerland, and a significant patron of Holbein. Meyer is portrayed with a keen expression, dressed in the formal attire of his office, which reflects his status and wealth within the community.

The painting is executed in oil on wood panel, a medium that Holbein mastered and which allowed him to achieve fine detail and a rich depth of color. The portrait is characterized by its meticulous attention to the textures of fabrics and the lifelike representation of Meyer's features, demonstrating Holbein's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the personality of his sitters.

As a work from Holbein's early period, the "Portrait of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen" is significant for its demonstration of the artist's developing style and technique. It also provides insight into the social and political landscape of Basel during the time, as Meyer was a key figure in the city's governance and a supporter of the arts. The portrait is further notable for its historical context, as it was created during a period of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, with the Protestant Reformation beginning to take hold.

The "Portrait of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen" is an important example of Northern Renaissance portraiture and is often studied for its exemplary craftsmanship and as an illustration of Holbein's early artistic achievements. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of the significant works in Holbein's oeuvre.
