The artwork, titled “Portrait of Henry Brandon,” was created by Hans Holbein the Younger in 1541, during the Northern Renaissance period in Germany. This distinguished portrait is part of the genre of portraiture and is currently housed in Windsor Castle, Windsor, UK.
The painting features a young boy, adorned in a richly detailed garment with distinct red accents. His pale skin and fair hair contrast sharply with the deep blue background, emphasizing his youthful features. The boy’s attire and the serene yet solemn expression captured by Holbein showcase the artist’s mastery in rendering intricate textures and delicate facial nuances, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance style.
