WEIDITZ, Christoph
(b. ca. 1500, Freiburg im Breisgau, d. 1559, Augsburg)

Portrait of Charles de Solier, Sire de Morette

1530s
Boxwood 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.
