WEIDITZ, Christoph (b. ca. 1500, Freiburg im Breisgau, d. 1559, Augsburg) |
Portrait of Charles de Solier, Sire de Morette1530sBoxwood medallion, 59 mm Victoria and Albert Museum, London | |
Weiditz' carved portrait of the diplomat, which also presents a bulky, masterful figure, attests to the accuracy of Holbein's depiction of the same sitter (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden). The picture shows the obverse of the medallion representing Charles de Solier, Sire de Morette. |
