Description
English: Portrait of Sir Richard Southwell. Black and coloured chalks, pen and brush and Indian ink, metalpoint, on pink-primed paper, 37 × 28.1 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.

Holbein's note on the right says Die augen ein wenig gelblatt (the eyes a little yellowish). The eyes are coloured with a mix of black, red, and yellow chalks.

Sir Richard Southwell (1504–1563/4) was a courtier and official. He was an agent of Thomas Cromwell in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and later played a part in the downfall of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, whom Holbein had also drawn. Working from this drawing, Holbein painted a portrait of Southwell, now in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. A copy by another hand is in the Louvre.
