"Portrait of a Member of the Wedigh Family, 1532" is a notable painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, a master portraitist of the Northern Renaissance. The artwork is believed to depict a member of the Wedigh family, a prominent merchant family from Cologne, Germany. The identity of the sitter, however, has not been definitively established, though some speculate it could be Hermann von Wedigh III, a wealthy merchant who resided in London.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, measuring 43.8 x 32.7 cm, and is part of Holbein's body of work created during his time in England, where he gained the patronage of Sir Thomas More and later served as a court painter to King Henry VIII. The portrait is characterized by Holbein's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textures and materials, such as the fine fur collar and the intricate blackwork embroidery of the sitter's shirt. The subject is depicted against a dark, neutral background, a common feature in Holbein's portraits, which serves to focus the viewer's attention on the figure.

The "Portrait of a Member of the Wedigh Family" is celebrated for its lifelike representation and the psychological insight it provides into the sitter. Holbein's skill in capturing the personality and status of his subjects is evident in the confident gaze and the refined attire of the figure, reflecting the wealth and social standing of the Wedigh family during the 16th century.

The painting is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as part of the Lehman Collection. It stands as a testament to Holbein's mastery of portraiture and provides valuable insight into the cultural and social milieu of the Tudor period. The artwork continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance.
