What does the website of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about the 16th century artwork made by Hans Holbein the Younger? (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

In 1517 Holbein decorated the house of the Lucerne magistrate Jacob von Hertenstein. Concurrently, he made this portrait of the magistrate's eldest son, Benedikt, who engages the viewer both with his direct glance and the inscription, which reads as if he is speaking: "When I looked like this I was twenty-two years old." Directly following these words is the declaration that "H.H." painted the work. The artist’s use of paper mounted on wood is unusual but not unique. He initiated the portrait as a drawing on paper and then continued working up in oil colors to its completion.
