LAST PERIOD; LONDON
(1531-43)

**Portrait of Jörg Gyze. [Plate [27].] Oils. Berlin Gallery.
Portrait of an unknown man. Oils. Schönborn Gallery, Vienna.
Johann or Hans of Antwerp. Oils. Windsor Castle. (Holbein's friend and executor.)
Derich Tybis of Duisburg. Oils. Imperial Gallery, Vienna.
Derich Born. Oils. Munich Gallery, and Windsor Castle.
Derich Berck. Oils. Petworth.
Unknown Man. Oils. Prado Gallery, Madrid.
The Triumph of Riches. Drawing. The Louvre. (Copies of this and the pendant design, The Triumph of Poverty, in the British Museum and in the Collection of Lady Eastlake.)
The Queen of Sheba before Solomon. Washed Drawing, heightened with gold and colours. Windsor Castle.
Robert Cheseman, with falcon. Oils. Hague Gallery.
*"The Ambassadors." [Plate [28].] Oils. National Gallery. (A double portrait, life size. Formerly supposed to be Sir Thomas Wyatt and a scholar; now officially held to be Jean de Dinteville, Bailli de Troyes, and George de Selve, Bishop of Lavaur. As stated in the text, the present writer differs from any identification of either figure yet published, but is not prepared to put forward her own views for the present.)
Nicholas Bourbon de Vandœuvre, scholar and poet. Chalk Drawing. Windsor Castle. (An intimate friend of Holbein, Kratzer, and their circle. Recently identified as the man in the scholar's gown, in "The Ambassadors," and so given by Mr. Lionel Cust, in the Dictionary of National Biography, in his article upon Holbein.)
**The Morett Portrait. [Plate [29].] Oils. Dresden Gallery. (Long believed to be a triumph of Leonardo da Vinci's art, and the portrait of Ludovico Sforza, "Il Moro." At one time held to be Henry Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Afterwards "established" and catalogued as Hubert Morett, goldsmith to King Henry VIII. Following M. Larpent's suggestion, however, it is now supposed to be the portrait of Charles Solier, Sieur de Morette. But as to this the last word may yet remain to be said. The drawing which the majority of authorities hold to be the study for this painting now hangs near it.)
Thomas Cromwell. Oils. Tittenhanger.
**Miniature portrait of Henry Brandon, son of the Duke of Suffolk. Windsor Castle.
Title-page used in Coverdale's Bible. Woodcut.
Q. Jane Seymour. [Plate [30].] Oils. Imperial Gallery, Vienna.
**Portrait of Erasmus, full length, in scholar's robes, with his hand on the head of the god Terminus. Woodcut. Frontispiece to Hieronymus Froben's edition of Erasmus's Works, published in 1540. (Commonly known as "Erasmus in a surround," or niche.)
Fragment of the Cartoon [Plate [31]] used for the four royal portraits in the wall-painting at Whitehall. The fragment shows only the figures of King Henry VIII. and his father. Hardwick Hall. (Remigius van Leemput's copy of the wall-painting shows that the position of the King's head was changed, in the completed work, to the full-face view so familiar in the oil-painting at Windsor Castle. The latter is one of the many copies of Holbein's original portrait of Henry VIII. which long passed muster as genuine Holbeins.)
**Portrait study of the face of King Henry VIII. [Plate [32].] Chalk Drawing. Royal Print Cabinet, Munich. (Probably the Life-study for the Whitehall painting. If nothing else remained, this mask alone would incontestably rank Holbein among the Masters of all time. To the writer's thinking, at any rate, it stands among the very few works of art which it would be difficult to match, and impossible to surpass in its own colossal qualities.)
**Design for "the Jane Seymour Cup." [Plate [33].] Bodleian Library.
**Christina of Denmark, Duchess of Milan. [Plate [34].] Oils. National Gallery; lent from Arundel Castle.
Edward VI., when infant Prince of Wales. Oils. Hanover Gallery, and Lord Yarborough's Collection.
Anne of Cleves. [Plate [35].] Oils on Vellum. The Louvre.
Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk. [Plate [36].] Oils. Windsor Castle, and Arundel Castle.
Catherine Howard. [Plate [37].] Chalk Drawing. Windsor Castle. (The Miniature at Windsor Castle, formerly said to be Holbein's portrait of Catherine Parr, is now said to be Catherine Howard. If so, it is somewhat difficult to reconcile it with the drawing, which latter seems much more in keeping with the descriptions of her traits.)
Title-page used in Cranmer's Bible. Woodcut. (This is the title-page from which Cromwell's Arms are erased in the second edition.)
Sir Nicholas Carew. Oils. Dalkeith Palace. Chalk Drawing. Basel Museum.
Simon George of Cornwall. Oils. Städel Institut, Frankfurt.
Miniature portrait of Charles Brandon, son of the Duke of Suffolk. Windsor Castle.
Lady; unknown. Oils. Imperial Gallery, Vienna. Also a fine portrait of an unknown man. Oils. Same Gallery.
Sir Richard Southwell. Oils. Uffizi Gallery, Florence. Chalk Drawing. Windsor Castle.
John Reskymeer. Oils. Hampton Court Gallery.
Nicholas Poyntz. Oils. De la Rosière Collection, Paris. Chalk Drawing. Windsor Castle.
Sir John Russell. Oils. Woburn Abbey. Chalk Drawing. Windsor Castle.
Three portraits; men unknown. Oils. Berlin Gallery.
Designs for jewelry, ornamental panels, clocks, chimney-piece, etc., etc. Washed Drawings. British Museum, Basel Museum, etc.
Many fine portraits of which no versions in oils are known. Chalk Drawings. Windsor Castle. Among these one of Edward VI. as boy Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Suffolk, Sir Thomas Wyatt, etc., etc.
Dr. John Chamber, or Chambers. Oils. Imperial Gallery, Vienna.
Also many other oil-portraits, more or less genuine, in various Collections.

The Literature of Holbein's Life, much more of his Works, is far too extensive to admit of a Bibliography in a volume of this sort.
