The portrait, believed to have been painted around 1526, showcases Holzschuher's distinguished features and refined elegance. Holzschuher's connection to Dürer adds an extra layer of historical significance to this artwork. Born in Nuremberg, Holzschuher was a successful merchant and a prominent member of the city's community. His friendship with Dürer is well-documented, and the two men shared a deep respect for each other's artistic talents. Holzschuher's patronage of Dürer's work helped to further the artist's career, and in turn, Dürer created this magnificent portrait as a tribute to his esteemed friend. The painting's intricate details and lifelike quality are a testament to Dürer's masterful skills as a painter. Holzschuher's attire, with its rich fabrics and ornate accessories, reflects the opulence and sophistication of the time.
