"Simon George of Quocote" is a portrait painted in 1536 by the renowned German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, who became one of the most celebrated portraitists of the 16th century during his time in England. The painting depicts Simon George of Cornwall, an English courtier whose precise role at court remains somewhat obscure. The artwork is executed in oil and tempera on oak and measures 22.2 cm by 17.1 cm, a size that suggests it may have been intended for private devotion or personal display, rather than as a grand state portrait.

Holbein's mastery of the portrait genre is evident in the meticulous detail and lifelike representation of his subject. The sitter is portrayed against a rich, green background, which serves to highlight the sumptuousness of his attire and the fine details of his features. Simon George is shown in three-quarter profile, a common pose in Holbein's portraiture, which allows for a detailed rendering of the face while also providing a sense of depth and character.

The painting is notable for its exquisite detail, particularly in the rendering of the textures of fabrics and the intricate jewelry, including a prominent Tudor rose pendant, which suggests the sitter's allegiance to the house of Tudor. The portrait is also significant for its historical context, as it was created during a tumultuous period in English history, marked by the Reformation and the reign of King Henry VIII.

"Simon George of Quocote" is held in the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. It stands as a testament to Holbein's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his subjects, as well as his ability to convey the opulence and political symbolism of the Tudor court. The portrait remains an important work for the study of Holbein's artistic technique and the cultural and historical milieu of 16th-century England.
