Portrait of Hans Holbein is a 1647 by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, depicting Bohemia, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face. He’s wearing a dark, textured coat and a white collar peeking out. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and hands. The print has the name *Hanns Holbein* at the top, but this is actually a later engraving. The artist who made it, Wenceslaus Hollar, signed it in 1647.
