"Sir Thomas Wyatt" is a portrait by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted around 1540 during Holbein's time as a court painter in England. The subject of the painting, Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–1542), was a prominent English poet, diplomat, and politician during the reign of King Henry VIII. He is often credited with introducing the sonnet into English literature, drawing influence from his Italian contemporaries.

The portrait is executed in oil on an oak panel, a common medium for Holbein, who is renowned for his detailed and realistic portraiture. It showcases Holbein's mastery of capturing the human form and his ability to convey the sitter's personality and social status. In this work, Wyatt is depicted with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, dressed in the fashion of the English court, which reflects his high standing and the refined tastes of the Tudor elite.

The painting is notable for its historical significance as well as its artistry. As one of the few contemporary likenesses of Sir Thomas Wyatt, it provides valuable insight into the appearance and attire of a key figure in the Tudor court. Furthermore, the portrait is an exemplary piece of Holbein's portraiture work, which is characterized by its lifelike precision and attention to detail.

The "Sir Thomas Wyatt" portrait is held in high esteem within the canon of Renaissance portraiture and is considered one of Holbein's important works from his English period. It is a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between England and the Continent during the 16th century, exemplifying the spread of Renaissance ideals and aesthetics beyond Italy.

The painting's current location is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical and artistic value. As with many of Holbein's portraits, "Sir Thomas Wyatt" remains a significant resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the Tudor court and the rich tapestry of 16th-century English cultural life.
