His attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects made him one of the most sought-after painters of his time. In 1536, Holbein painted "Portrait of Jane Seymour, " showcasing his skill in portraying not only physical likeness but also capturing the inner beauty and grace of his subject. The painting from 1936 stands as a testament to Holbein's timeless artistry. Another notable work is "Anne of Cleves" from 1539, where he masterfully depicted her regal presence. This piece, dating back to 1909, exemplifies Holbein's ability to convey both power and vulnerability through portraiture. Holbein's talent extended beyond royalty; he also captured influential figures such as Thomas Cromwell in c1537. The portrait from 1902 showcases Cromwell's shrewdness and intelligence while highlighting Holbein's meticulous brushwork. One cannot overlook "The Merchant Georg Gisze" from 1532—an extraordinary example of how Holbein could bring ordinary individuals to life on canvas. This particular artwork demonstrates his keen eye for detail and ability to depict intricate textures with precision. Holbein was equally skilled at depicting women like Mary Lady Heveningham, Jane Lady Lister, and Mary Lady Monteagle—all portrayed between c1532-1543—showcasing their elegance through delicate brushstrokes that reveal their unique personalities. Not limited by genre or subject matter, Hans Holbein ventured into other realms too. In "Old woman (witch or fairy) spinning" from 1547, he delved into fantasy elements while maintaining realism—a testament to his versatility as an artist. Holbein's portraits were not mere representations.
