The above portrait was painted by Hans Holbein
the Younger, who depicted a member of the urban elite—an influential German merchant from Danzig doing business in London.
He is wealthy because of
his superb clothes. His facial expression, and
other objects in the picture reflect the values
of a successful, educated, and hard-working
businessman.
