"Portrait of a Member of the Wedigh Family, 1533" is a painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most prominent portrait painters of the 16th century. The artwork is a testament to Holbein's mastery in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters, as well as his ability to convey the opulence and detail of their attire. Painted in oil on oak panel, the portrait measures 43.8 x 32.7 cm and is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.

The painting depicts a man traditionally identified as Hermann Wedigh III (1494–1560), a member of the prominent Wedigh merchant family from Cologne, Germany, who were active throughout Europe. The sitter is portrayed against a dark, neutral background that contrasts with the rich textures and colors of his clothing, highlighting Holbein's skillful use of light and shadow to create a three-dimensional effect.

Holbein's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the sitter's attire, from the fur-lined overcoat to the finely worked black hat, which reflects the fashion of the time. The man's gaze is direct and engaging, suggesting a sense of confidence and poise. The portrait is signed and dated by Holbein, which is relatively rare for his work, indicating the importance of the commission.

The "Portrait of a Member of the Wedigh Family, 1533" is an important work within Holbein's oeuvre, offering insights into the cultural and social milieu of the Northern Renaissance. It exemplifies the artist's talent for portraiture and his influence on the genre, which would resonate through the centuries. The painting is not only a valuable piece of art history but also a window into the life and times of the 16th-century European elite.
