"Portrait of a Man Traditionally Identified as Sir Thomas More" is a painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most prominent portrait painters of the 16th century. The work is believed to have been created around 1527 during Holbein's first stay in England, where he was introduced to the court of Henry VIII. The subject of the painting, long thought to be Sir Thomas More, a noted Renaissance humanist and the king's Lord Chancellor, is depicted with the detailed realism and psychological insight characteristic of Holbein's best portraits.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a common medium for Holbein, and measures approximately 29.5 by 23.5 centimeters. It showcases the artist's mastery of texture and color, particularly in the rendering of More's fur-trimmed garment and the lifelike representation of his skin. The sitter's gaze is direct and engaging, suggesting a man of intellect and authority, which aligns with what is known of More's character and achievements.

However, the identification of the sitter as Sir Thomas More has been the subject of debate among art historians. While the traditional attribution has been widely accepted, some scholars have raised questions based on stylistic analysis, the lack of contemporary documentation directly linking the portrait to More, and comparisons with other known likenesses of him. Despite these uncertainties, the painting remains an important example of Holbein's portraiture and a valuable insight into the visual culture of the Tudor court.

The "Portrait of a Man Traditionally Identified as Sir Thomas More" is held in a private collection, and its provenance and exhibition history contribute to its significance in the study of Renaissance art. The painting's attribution to Holbein is generally not disputed, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merits and as a document of its time.
