Manner of Hans Holbein II
Portrait of English Lord Chancellor and writer Sir Thomas More (St. Thomas Morus, 1478-1535), lower left inscribed with the sitter’s Latin name,
oil on canvas, 75 x 60.2 cm, unframed
Provenance:
Gottlieb Friedrich Reber Collection, Lausanne
The present painting is an early, and probably contemporary, version of a composition by Holbein. In this version Thomas More still wears the livery collar of the Chancellor of Lancaster with a simple rose, whilst in the painting in the Frick Gallery, New York, he wears the collar of the duchies of Lancaster and York, united in 1528, with a double rose.
