Description: | This painting is something of a mystery. Historical records describe this work as being by Mabuse, but there is no record of why. In the sale catalogue of 1936, the sitter is described as having a continuous whisker, wearing the order of the Golden Fleece and holding a pink. The sitter in this work has none of these attributes, being in fact an exact copy of a portrait by Ambrosius Holbein, currently in the Hermitage, Portrait of a Young Man. This version was most likely executed in the nineteenth century. | Subjects: | portrait; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Holbein, Ambrosius (German painter, ca.1494-ca.1520) Æ After Previously attributed to Gossaert, Jan (Flemish painter, ca. 1478-1532) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8752... | Go to resource |
