Summary
DescriptionJohn More, Detail of Study for portrait of the More family, by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg |
English: Detail of Sir John More from Study for the Family Portrait of Thomas More. Pen and brush in black on top of chalk sketch, 38.9 × 52.4 cm. Kupferstichkabinett, Öffentliche Kunstsammlung, Basel.
Holbein also drew individual portraits in preparation for the composition, seven of which have survived, as well as painting an individual portrait of Thomas More in a similar pose. Some scholars believe that the sketch was sent to More's friend the humanist scholar Desiderius Erasmus, who had recommended Holbein to him and who praised the piece; another view is that More sent Erasmus a version of the actual painting.
