Portrait of Anna von Holzhausen, née Ratzeburg

Städelsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt

Conrad Faber von Creuznach is particularly noted for his 1535 pendant portraits of Gilbrecht von Holzhausen and his wife Anna Ratzeburger. In the background of these pictures the city of Frankfurt am Main is depicted with a bird's eye perspective. This makes it one of the earliest known depiction of the city.
