"Sir Brian Tuke c. 1527" is a portrait painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most prominent portrait painters of the 16th century. The painting is believed to have been completed around 1527 and depicts Sir Brian Tuke (died 1545), who was a trusted adviser to King Henry VIII of England and held several important positions in the Tudor court, including Treasurer of the Chamber, Master of the Posts, and Secretary to the King.

The portrait is executed in oil on oak panel, a common medium for Holbein's work, and measures approximately 50.2 cm by 40 cm. It showcases Holbein's mastery of realism and his ability to capture the sitter's character and status. Sir Brian Tuke is portrayed with a keen expression, wearing a fur-lined gown and a black cap, indicative of his high social standing and the fashion of the Tudor court. The painting is noted for its meticulous detail, particularly in the rendering of the textures of Tuke's clothing and the fine lines of his aging face, which convey a sense of the sitter's personality and the weight of his public duties.

The background of the painting is subdued, with a green curtain partially visible, which serves to focus the viewer's attention on the figure of Tuke. Holbein's use of lighting and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the portrait and adds to the lifelike presence of the sitter.

"Sir Brian Tuke c. 1527" is part of a series of portraits by Holbein that document the influential figures of the Tudor court. The painting is an important work in the study of Holbein's portraiture and provides insight into the social and political dynamics of the period. It is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
