Notes
English: The portrait is clearly related to Holbein's preparatory study of Simon George, but this is the only case in Holbein's work where the painting does not closely follow the sketch, since the proportions and some details are different. Simon George is not recorded at court, but he is dressed in the exquisitely painted finery of a courtier. The carnation he holds may symbolise betrothal.

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.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
