John More, son of Sir Thomas More, by Hans Holbein the Younger

description

Summary

Portrait study of John More. Black and coloured chalks on paper, 38.1 × 28.1 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor.

John More (1508–47) was Sir Thomas More's only son. This drawing is one of seven fine surviving studies drawn by Holbein for his group portrait of Thomas More's family. In the family portrait, John More stands, hatless, near his betrothed, Anne Cresacre, whom Holbein also sketched.

Hans Holbein the Younger was a German painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design.
