EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of William Fitzwilliam, Earl of Southampton, as depicted by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger. Created between 1536 and 1540, this exquisite drawing is part of the esteemed Royal Collection Trust housed at Windsor Castle. In this side view portrait, we witness a man who embodies both power and refinement. The Earl's profile is sharply defined, his gaze focused yet enigmatic. His attire reflects the fashion of the Renaissance era with a stylish hat atop his head and an intricately detailed jacket adorning his form. Holbein's masterful use of chalk brings depth to every stroke, capturing not only Fitzwilliam's physical features but also hinting at his character beneath. This monochrome representation allows us to appreciate the artistry in its purest form while emphasizing the aristocratic nature of its subject. As we delve into history through this print, we are transported back to a time when men like William Fitzwilliam held significant influence within English courtly circles. A soldier as well as a courtier, he played an instrumental role in shaping Tudor society during his lifetime. The publication "The Drawings of Holbein at Windsor Castle" by K. T. Parker immortalizes this remarkable artwork for generations to come. Through it, we can admire both Holbein's talent and Fitzwilliam's legacy as an influential figure in sixteenth-century England.
