The "Portrait of Thomas Cromwell" is a significant work by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted circa 1532-1533. This portrait is one of the most notable representations of Thomas Cromwell, a prominent figure in the court of King Henry VIII of England, known for his role as a chief minister and his instrumental part in the English Reformation. Holbein, who became the King's Painter to Henry VIII, was renowned for his ability to capture the intricacies of his subjects' characters and the subtleties of their expressions, making his portraits highly sought after by the Tudor court.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a common medium for Holbein, and measures approximately 76.2 cm by 61 cm. It showcases Cromwell seated, facing the viewer, with an expression that has been interpreted as both determined and introspective. The attention to detail in Cromwell's attire and the surrounding objects reflects Holbein's meticulous approach to his work, providing insight not only into Cromwell's status and personality but also into the cultural and social context of the period.

Holbein's portrait of Cromwell is celebrated for its realism and psychological depth. Unlike the idealized portraits common in the period, Holbein's work presents a more nuanced and human portrayal of Cromwell, highlighting the complexities of his character. The painting is also notable for its historical significance, offering a visual document of a key figure in Tudor England at a time of profound political and religious change.

Today, the "Portrait of Thomas Cromwell" is held in a prestigious collection, having been acquired by notable institutions and collectors over the centuries. Its provenance, along with Holbein's reputation and the painting's artistic and historical value, contribute to its status as a masterpiece of Renaissance portraiture. The work not only exemplifies Holbein's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding the Tudor era and its influential personalities.
