"Portrait of Simon George of Cornwall" is a painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, completed between 1536 and 1537. As one of the leading portraitists of the 16th century, Holbein gained renown for his ability to capture the character and appearance of his sitters with remarkable precision. This painting is no exception, showcasing Holbein's meticulous technique and his mastery of the Northern Renaissance style.

The subject of the portrait, Simon George of Cornwall, is depicted against a green background, which was a common choice for Holbein and serves to highlight the sitter's visage and attire. George is shown in three-quarter profile, a typical pose that allows Holbein to render the sitter's features with a sense of depth and realism. The portrait is notable for its exquisite detail, particularly in the rendering of George's clothing and jewelry, which reflects his status and wealth. The sitter's gaze is directed towards the viewer, creating an engaging and lifelike presence.

Measuring 43.2 cm by 34.3 cm, the painting is executed in oil and tempera on oak panel, a medium that allowed Holbein to achieve fine detail and a rich palette. The portrait is signed and dated, which is valuable for art historians in establishing the chronology of Holbein's works.

"Portrait of Simon George of Cornwall" is considered an important work in Holbein's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in portraiture during his time in England. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in several notable institutions, contributing to the understanding of Holbein's artistic contributions and the cultural context of the Tudor court.

This portrait remains a subject of interest for scholars studying the period, Holbein's body of work, and the broader context of Renaissance portraiture. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of technical mastery, psychological insight, and the window it provides into the world of the Tudor nobility.
