Painting Description
''Portrait of Robert Cheseman'' is an oil on oak panel painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, completed in 1533. It is a striking example of Holbein's skill in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture not only the physical likeness but also the character and social standing of his sitters. The painting depicts Robert Cheseman (1485–1547), who was the chief falconer to King Henry VIII of England, a position of considerable prestige at the Tudor court. Cheseman is portrayed at half-length, holding a gyrfalcon, which signifies his profession and status.
Measuring 58.3 cm by 57.5 cm, the portrait is noted for its meticulous detail and the lifelike representation of textures, from the soft feathers of the bird to the intricate patterns of Cheseman's fur-lined garment. Holbein's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his subtle rendering of flesh tones, contribute to the three-dimensional effect of the figure. The background is a plain, dark green, which serves to focus attention on the subject and his falcon.
The painting is part of the collection of the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands. It is widely admired for its technical excellence and is considered an important work in Holbein's oeuvre, exemplifying the Northern Renaissance's attention to detail and the influence of the Italian Renaissance's interest in individual personality. ''Portrait of Robert Cheseman'' is often discussed in the context of Holbein's other English portraits, which collectively provide a rich visual record of the Tudor court and its figures during a transformative period in English history.
