Portrait of Hans von Zürich

The portrait of the Swiss goldsmith Hans von Zürich by Hans Holbein the Younger (1498-1543) formed part of the painting collection owned by the Earl of Arundel. The painting is now missing and its appearance is mainly known from Hollar's etching. This is yet another example of Hollar's superb command of the art of etching, a skill that enabled him to render such visual elements as pronounced shading and finely rendered details.
