About the piece
This striking portrait is an 1886 study by Helene Schjerfbeck, based on Hans Holbein the Younger's 1536 original. The work depicts Sir Richard Southwell with remarkable psychological depth, set against a rich, atmospheric dark green background. The inclusion of the original Latin inscriptions and the subject's somber, authoritative gaze create a piece of significant historical and aesthetic presence.
