Retrato de un miembro de la familia Wedigh, probablemente Hermann Wedigh (murió en 1560)

Hans Holbein the Younger German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 612

El modelo, en cuyo anillo aparece el blasón de la familia Wedigh de Colonia, es probablemente Hermann von Wedigh III, socio de la compañía mercantil londinense Steelyard. En el papel insertado en el pequeño misal figura una cita de la comedia romana Andria de Terencio: «La verdad engendra el odio». Estas palabras se refieren al contenido del libro y quizás también sean el lema del retratado.

Hermann von Wedigh III (died 1560), Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98–1543 London), Oil and gold on oak
