Summary
| Description |
English: Portrait of Jacob Meyer zum Hasen. Black and coloured chalks, lead point and scored lines on the contours, background coloured light green, 38.3 × 27.5 cm, Kunstmuseum Basel.
Although Hans Holbein went on to become a prolific and renowned portraitist in London, he produced relatively few portraits in Basel. Jakob Meyer zum Hasen, a senior official and sometime mayor of Basel, became one of his most important early patrons. This is a preparatory drawing for the work known as the Darmstadt Madonna, which portrays Meyer with his family and the Madonna and Child. Holbein had also drawn Meyer in 1516. A staunch Catholic, Meyer lost his political influence during the Basel Reformation. (Stephanie Buck, Hans Holbein, Cologne: Könemann, 1999, ISBN 3829025831, pp. 76–82.) |
