"Portrait of Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger" is an artwork attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, a renowned German-Swiss painter and printmaker who became one of the leading portraitists of the 16th century. Holbein is celebrated for his detailed and realistic depictions of his subjects, which often included prominent figures of the Tudor court. This particular portrait is believed to depict Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger, an English politician and rebel leader who played a significant role in the Wyatt's Rebellion against Queen Mary I in 1554.

Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger was the son of the poet Sir Thomas Wyatt, who is credited with introducing the sonnet into English literature. The younger Wyatt's life was marked by his involvement in political intrigue and his eventual execution for treason. Holbein's portrait captures Wyatt with a sense of gravitas and introspection, characteristics that align with his tumultuous life and tragic end.

Holbein's technique in this portrait, as in many of his works, is meticulous and precise. He employs a fine brushwork to render the textures of Wyatt's clothing and the subtle expressions of his face. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, making Wyatt appear almost lifelike. Holbein's ability to convey the personality and status of his subjects through portraiture has made his works invaluable historical documents as well as masterpieces of Renaissance art.

The exact date of the portrait's creation is not definitively known, but it is generally placed within Holbein's second stay in England, between 1532 and 1543. During this period, Holbein was the court painter for King Henry VIII and produced numerous portraits of the king's courtiers and family members. The "Portrait of Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger" stands as a testament to Holbein's skill and his significant contribution to the art of portraiture during the Renaissance.
