Painting Description
"Sir Richard Southwell" is a portrait by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted in 1536. Holbein, known for his detailed and realistic portraiture, was one of the most accomplished portraitists of the 16th century and served as a court painter to Henry VIII of England. The subject of the painting, Sir Richard Southwell, was a Tudor courtier, privy councillor, and a friend of the artist.
The portrait is executed in oil on an oak panel, a common medium for Holbein's portraits, and measures approximately 53 cm by 40 cm. It depicts Southwell as a young man, dressed in the fashion of the Tudor court, with meticulous attention to the textures and details of his clothing and accessories, which was a hallmark of Holbein's style. The sitter's expression is reserved and introspective, characteristic of Holbein's ability to capture the personality and demeanor of his subjects.
The painting is noted for its exquisite detail, particularly in the rendering of Southwell's fur-lined gown and the golden chain he wears, which is believed to signify his status at court. The background is a deep green, which was a common choice for Holbein and serves to highlight the figure of Southwell.
"Sir Richard Southwell" is an important work in Holbein's oeuvre, offering insight into the courtly life and fashions of the Tudor period, as well as the social standing of the sitter. The portrait is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art museums around the world, contributing to the study and appreciation of Holbein's work and the history of Tudor England.
