Summary

Description
English: Portrait of an Unidentified Man with a Beard. Black and coloured chalks and pen and ink and brush on pink-primed paper, 27.5 × 21.1 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. This drawing, exceptionally well preserved, includes fine use of wash, especially in the hat, and of chalk modelling, especially round the eyes. Holbein demonstrates mastery and variety in the use of both pen and brush. Wenceslas Hollar's etching of 1647 (see "Other versions" below) indicates that the drawing was a study for a roundel or miniature. Unlike many of Holbein's drawings in the Royal Collection, this one has not been reworked or retouched by other hands.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1543, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
