Description: | A reproduction produced by the Vasari Society of a drawing by Hans Holbein the elder. The drawing shows the bust of a man seen in three-quarter profile, facing slightly towards the left. His eyes are open and his lips are a little parted in a smile. He has shoulder length, wavy hair, and the details of his clothing are only vaguely sketched in.
