"St. Ursula" is a notable painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, created around 1523. This artwork is part of a series of paintings and drawings that depict the life and martyrdom of Saint Ursula, a legendary British princess from the 4th or 5th century. Holbein's portrayal of St. Ursula is a fine example of his attention to detail and his ability to convey character through portraiture, which are hallmarks of his work during his time in Basel, Switzerland.

The painting features St. Ursula clad in rich garments, holding an arrow, her attribute, which signifies her martyrdom. The arrow is a reference to the legend in which she was killed by Huns along with her 11,000 virgin companions after a pilgrimage to Rome. Holbein's depiction is imbued with a sense of serenity and nobility, characteristics that reflect the saint's purity and her status as a martyr. The background of the painting is typically subdued, allowing the viewer to focus on the figure and the intricate details of her attire and accessories.

Hans Holbein the Younger, born in Augsburg and active in Basel, London, and other European cities, was renowned for his portraits and religious works. His skill in capturing the human form and his nuanced approach to representing his subjects' personalities and status are evident in "St. Ursula." The painting is a testament to the Northern Renaissance's emphasis on realism and the influence of humanism in art.

"St. Ursula" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance. It provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the early 16th century, as well as the artistic trends that were prevalent in Europe at the time. The painting is a valuable piece of Holbein's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the development of portrait painting during the Renaissance.
