"Portrait of Sir Richard Southwell" is a notable work by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted circa 1537. Holbein, renowned for his detailed and realistic portraiture, was one of the most accomplished portraitists of the 16th century and served as a court painter to King Henry VIII of England. This painting is an example of his work during this period, showcasing his mastery of the Northern Renaissance style and his ability to capture the character and status of his sitters.

The subject of the painting, Sir Richard Southwell, was a Tudor courtier, member of Parliament, and a friend of Holbein. Southwell's portrait is executed with the meticulous attention to detail that is characteristic of Holbein's portraits. It depicts Southwell in a three-quarter view, wearing the rich attire befitting a man of his position, with a dark, understated background that was typical of Holbein's portraits. The painting is noted for its lifelike representation and the subtle rendering of textures and materials, from the fine fur of Southwell's garments to the glint of his jewelry.

The artwork is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides insights into the fashion and aesthetics of the Tudor court, as well as the social and political dynamics of the time. The portrait is held in a private collection, and its provenance and the circumstances of its commission provide further context for its study. As with many of Holbein's portraits, "Portrait of Sir Richard Southwell" continues to be the subject of scholarly research and is frequently included in discussions of Renaissance portraiture and Holbein's oeuvre.
