Lot 258 | Hans Holbein d. J., Nachfolge. King Henry VIII of England
Estimate value
€ 2 000 – 2 500
Oil auf panel. 11.7 x 8.9 cm. Restored. Minor damage. Minor damage to frame (30 x 27 cm).

Die Bildnisse des englischen Königs Heinrich VIII. (1491 Palace of Placentia, Greenwich - 1547 Whitehall, London) sind kaum zu zählen. Die bedeutendsten Porträts des Herrschers schuf Hans Holbein d. J. Auch die vorliegende Miniatur lehnt sich variierend an ein der Werkstatt Holbeins zugeschriebenes Werk an. Die ganzfigurige Darstellung (Öl auf Holz, 238 x 121) in Petworth House, West Sussex (Inv.-Nr. NT 486 186) kann deutlich in einem Zusammenhang mit unserem Bildnis gesehen werden: Der Wams hat eine doppelte Knopfreihe, auch die Schlitzungen des Wamses entsprechen dem Gemälde in Petworth House. Die Entscheidung für einen roten (statt bräunlich-silbernen) Wams scheint hingegen der unbekannte Künstler selbst getroffen zu haben. Auch die Gesichtszüge Heinrichs weichen von anderen Porträts ab: Sie erscheinen frisch und faltenlos, der Kopf ist breiter wiedergegeben als bei den meisten anderen Porträts des Königs.
