HOLBEIN, Hans the Younger
(b. 1497, Augsburg, d. 1543, London)

Portrait of Sir Nicholas Carew

1532-33
Tempera on wood, 91 x 102 cm
Drumlanrig Castle, Thornhill, Scotland

The sitter can be identified by the inscription (which is perhaps a later addition) as Sir Nicholas Carew, Master of the Horse to King Henry VIII.
