"Portrait of Nikolaus Kratzer" is a 1528 painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, who is renowned for his detailed and realistic portraiture, particularly during his time in England. The painting depicts Nikolaus Kratzer, a German mathematician, astronomer, and cosmographer who was based in England and served as an astronomer to King Henry VIII. Kratzer was also a friend of Holbein, which is reflected in the intimate and detailed portrayal in the painting.

The artwork is a testament to Holbein's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the character of his subjects. It is also notable for its depiction of the scientific instruments of the era, which Kratzer holds or are displayed on the table beside him, symbolizing his scholarly pursuits and expertise. These instruments include an astrolabe, a globe, and other devices used for astronomical measurements and calculations, which are rendered with meticulous attention to detail.

The portrait is executed in oil on oak panel, a common medium for Holbein, and measures approximately 83 x 67 cm. It is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The work is admired for its technical proficiency, its rich portrayal of 16th-century intellectual life, and its insight into the relationship between the artist and the intellectual elite of the Tudor court. Holbein's "Portrait of Nikolaus Kratzer" remains an important work of the Northern Renaissance and a valuable historical document of the period's scientific and cultural milieu.
