| Notes |
English: The preparatory drawing for this portrait is inscribed, by a later hand than Holbein's, "Reskemeer a Cornish Gent". Since the portrait was once owned by family connections, it has been deduced that the sitter was William Reskimer, sometime page and gentleman usher to the chamber of Henry VIII and keeper of the Cornish ports. The work has been dated to the early part of Holbein's second stay in England, when he was still painting vines and fig leaves in the background of his portraits (Foister, Susan (2006). Holbein in England, London: Tate. ISBN 1854376454, p. 42.) |
