"Portrait of a Lady with a Squirrel and a Starling" is a celebrated painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, created between 1527 and 1528 during the artist's first stay in England. This exquisite work is renowned for its meticulous detail, rich symbolism, and the masterful depiction of the sitter, whose identity remains a subject of scholarly debate. The painting is executed in oil on oak and measures 56 cm by 38.8 cm.

The portrait features a young woman positioned beside a window, gazing directly at the viewer with a serene expression. She is dressed in the fashion of the English court, with her attire and accessories indicating her high social status. The inclusion of a squirrel on her left and a starling to her right adds a layer of complexity to the work, as these creatures are often interpreted as symbolic elements. The squirrel, typically a symbol of curiosity and agility, is shown nibbling on a nut, while the starling, which may allude to the family name or estate of the sitter, is perched on a branch outside the window.

Holbein's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the textures of fabrics and the naturalistic rendering of the animals, showcases his skill as one of the foremost portraitists of the Northern Renaissance. The painting is a testament to Holbein's ability to blend Northern European painting techniques with the innovations of the Italian Renaissance, resulting in a work that is both lifelike and emblematic.

"Portrait of a Lady with a Squirrel and a Starling" is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and enigmatic qualities. The painting is a key example of Holbein's portraiture and provides valuable insight into the cultural and social milieu of Tudor England.
